Recent developments and researches have proved that old or traditional management models as typical hierarchical organizational structure, autocracy, tight control, close supervision, etc are not effective and would not fit the current organizational conditions especially to school organizations. Many Indian government schools find themselves unable to compete in retaining talent globally when compared to missionary school employees working in India due to their high level of work motivation. Therefore, the present study was aimed at studying the employees’ work motivation during COVID – 19 pandemic among teaching and non – teaching employees working in Government and Missionary Schools with particular reference to North Bihar. To measure the differences between Government and Missionaries Schools employees in terms of their levels of work motivation during COVID–19 outbreaks, total sample consisted of one hundred sixty (N=180) which were randomly selected from different Government and Missionaries Schools located at North Bihar, viz., Begusarai, Darbhanga, Madhubani and Samastipur. These are well – known towns of North Bihar. The break up of the total sample comprises Government school teachers (n=45) and Govt. school Non – teacher (n=45) and similarly Missionary School teachers (n=45) and Missionary School Non – teacher (n=45). Total respondents’ age were ranged between 30 to 58 years of age. Having collected the information on the problem through questionnaire schedule, the data were tabulated as per norms of the schedule for giving statistical treatment. Obtained results indicated significant differences in terms of teaching employees’ work motivation between the group of Government School and Missionary school. It is important to mention here that the levels of work motivation among Government school teaching employees have been found little high as compared to missionary school teaching employees but had not shown significant difference during COVID–19 outbreaks. Finally discrepancy of obtained results has been discussed in detail by highlighting the probable reasons.
