This study aimed to validate a questionnaire, originally developed in Belgium, designed to evaluate three dimensions (self-efficacy, interest, and effort) of intrinsic motivation for teaching for a different national population. The sample consisted of 616 academics working in public higher education institutions in Portugal. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and internal consistency of items analyzed. The results show that the original dimensionality of the construct is confirmed in the Portuguese teachers\u2019 sample. Motivation for teaching in the Portuguese context is primarily explained by the following factors: personal efficacy, interest in the task, and effort placed on teaching responsibilities. A difference was found in that personal efficacy could not be divided in context and general personal efficacy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1982-4327e3104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]],"date-time":"2021-03-01T14:40:23Z","timestamp":1614609623000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Teachers\u2019 Motivation for Teaching in Higher Education: Portuguese Validation of a Questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0651-7014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro Silva","family":"Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0699-1197","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Alfredo","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1024-6958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suzana Nunes","family":"Caldeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Azores,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5320-5753","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara Medeiros","family":"Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Azores,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2373-191X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natascha van","family":"Hattum-Janssen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saxion University of Applied Sciences,  Netherlands; University of Twente,  Netherlands"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2029-8628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerda J.","family":"Visser-Wijnveen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anton de Kom University of Suriname,  Suriname"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"291","DOI":"10.1007\/s10984-015-9198-x","article-title":"Teachers\u2019 views of their school climate and its relationship with teacher self-efficacy and job satisfaction","volume":"19","author":"Aldridge J.
