Abstract

This study investigated motivation and teachers’ performance in selected
secondary schools in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State. The study adopted a
descriptive survey research design of an ex-post facto type. Four research hypotheses were
formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. Data were collected using a self-developed
questionnaire tagged “Teachers' motivation and performance in secondary schools”. The
questionnaire was validated and the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.81 while the reliability was
confirmed at 0.78 using a split-half correlation coefficient. Research questionnaires were
administered to two hundred (200) teachers that were randomly selected from four major (4)
administrative zones in LGA but only one hundred and eighty-seven (187) were adequately
filled and used in the analysis. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation
Coefficient and Multiple Regression statistical methods. The findings of this study reveal a
significant positive relationship between teachers’ job performance and motivation in ensuring
quality education in secondary schools (r = .567; p>.05). The study also indicated that reward
system, professional training and development, work situational factors accounted for 10.4%,
29.1%, and 13.9% respectively of the variance in the motivation of teachers in public secondary
schools. It was therefore concluded that the importance of motivation in the day-to-day
performance of teachers cannot be overemphasized, especially when it comes to being
rewarded for a job done and being happy on the job. It was recommended that for higher
performance as well as for employees to have sense of belonging, Management must introduce
Management By Objective (MBO) approach so that all staff will take part and be able to
contribute meaningfully to the development of the organization.
