Changes are seen in teacher behavior in terms of guiding, training, educating, and teaching students. Not all teachers could transition well to the new culture of online learning. Many experienced a lack of motivation, leading to depression in some cases. Moreover, with limited Internet network infrastructure, not all teachers and students could have proper access to online learning. Therefore, efforts are needed to motivate teachers during the pandemic. Using a systematic literature review design, the current study discusses the requisites for building teacher motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The articles used are those published from 2015 to 2021 and accessed from Scopus, Google Scholar, Research Gate, and ERIC Institute of Education. Results indicated that teachers can be motivated by providing insight into the urgency of developing professional teacher competencies during the pandemic.Keywords: achievement motivation, teacher, COVID-19 ER -
