Abstract:
The study focused on the impact of workload manageability on the morale and motivation of TVET college lecturers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Also, the study exposed the workload manageability factors affecting the lecturers and it gave possible ways to minimise the negative impact on the teaching and learning programmes of the colleges. All the 40 research participants comprised of both male and female lecturers with age range from 25 to 60 years and were drawn from two randomly selected colleges. Following a mixed methods approach, both questionnaire and interview instruments were used to collect data giving rise to both quantitative and qualitative data respectively. The findings revealed that workload manageability among lecturers is a major challenge negatively affecting their morale and motivation. Factors that are making workload manageability problematic include unfair workload sharing, too many teaching periods, Lack of time, large teaching groups and unprecedented staff turnover.
