Abstract The study analyzed the career goals and motivations of non-physical education college teachers in Shanxi Province, China. It involved 226 full-time teachers and used a descriptive comparative-correlational method. The results showed that the teaching environment, interpersonal interactions, compensation, personal development, teaching achievement, leadership style, and job expectations were highly valued. Power, success, affiliation, and competence motivation were also highly regarded. The study found a clear correlation between respondents' impressions of the institution's performance and meeting their expectations. The highest motivation was affiliation, which indicated satisfaction in maintaining relationships and promoting a positive working environment. Competence motivation followed closely, demonstrating confidence in their abilities to perform well, innovate in teaching methods, solve problems, and achieve favorable outcomes in competitive settings. The study also found that power motivation increased with improving career expectations in several spheres. The strongest correlation was found between career goals and ambition for power and influence in their position. Teaching performance showed the strongest association, with the desire for affiliation and teamwork driving motivation. Competence motivation also showed positive connections with all aspects of career expectancy.
