Method: Data were collected based on semi-structured interviews and theoretical sampling with twenty-five cultures and the conceptual model of motivation deficit based on foundation data theory was analyzed and extracted in three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Results: The results were drawn and presented in the form of 28 main categories and in six paradigm dimensions including: causal conditions, central phenomena, contextual conditions, intervention conditions, strategies and consequences. Professional anonymity was discovered as a central phenomenon and the ultimate goal of the research was to study and analyze its dimensions. Conclusion: In general, the results of the present study showed that conventional technical / motivational terminology among teachers's is significantly similar to the motivational structures representing the motivational profile of learners.
