Abstract: Motivation of university instructors is a key component of incredible performance system in higher educational context. The main problem that university instructors in developing countries are facing nowadays is the lack of motivation. Since teaching requires excellent performance and commitment to achieve university effectiveness, the problem was considered major since it has lead to high turnover of university instructors that may hinder the success of a university. In this study the researcher investigated the importance of intrinsic motivation among the university instructors in Lebanon and Yemen. The main purpose of this descriptive-correlational study was to examine if career development, work itself and autonomy factors affect motivation and the sequence of importance of these factors for the university instructors of Lebanon and Yemen. A descriptive-correlative survey method was employed and data were collected through a questionnaire. The results that appeared showed that there is no significant difference in the preference of intrinsic motivation for university instructors in Yemen and Lebanon. It was found that university instructors think that these three factors are significant to make them more motivated to perform better but the sequence of importance was different between Lebanon and Yemen due to some factors such culture, environment and cost of living. It was recommended that universities should pay close attention especially to the intrinsic motivation (career development, autonomy, work itself, etc.) due to its great impact on the performance of university instructors more than the extrinsic motivation.
