After ensuring content face validity having items reviewed experts removing any with CVR scores less than 0.42, questionnaire's were whittled down just thirty (30). Two hundred twenty-six teachers working for school education department participated pilot revised questionnaire. data processed using PLS Smart version 4, which determined validity, reliability, model fit. unsuitable items, reduced eighteen (18) items. AVE values extrinsic 0.575 > 0.5, while intrinsic 0.633> 0.5. Fornell-Lacker criterion (0.828) greater correlations other latent components, 0.778 0.828, respectively. Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio (HTMT) 0.895 0.9, considered good. Cronbach alpha 0.917 0.7, 0.916 0.7. Similarly, composite reliability (CR) 0.931 0.7 0.932 So, (TMQ) internally consistent, valid, reliable. overall study's findings approved TMQ investigate motivation.
