The attitudes of teachers in their professions, work-life balances and perceptions of teachers' motivations were analyzed. According to the results of the research, it has been concluded that teachers 'attitudes towards teaching profession, work life balance perceptions, motivation perceptions are high and there is a moderate positive relationship between teachers' attitudes towards teaching profession (in all dimensions) and their perceptions of work life balance and motivation perceptions (in all dimensions). Additionally, it is seen that teachers' attitudes towards teaching profession and perceptions of work-life balance explained approximately 9.4% of the total variance of motivation perceptions.
