Abstract

This paper examines the effect of motivation on the performance of private school teachers. This study was found to be of importance in this era of universal education, especially now that Nigeria needs motivated staff if performance is to be enhanced at this level. The sample of the study was constituted by fifty teachers of diversified societal status, through a 5 point- Likert scale modified survey where each teacher self-rated himself, while their performance was assessed by the school principal on a scale that varied from 0 as a minimum to a 50 as maximum. The researchers have used the frequency, percent, average and the correlation coefficient. Several factors were found to influence the level of teacher motivation. The factors included: level of training, job security, student performance, promotions among others. The researcher also found that in the highly performing schools, all the teachers including those hired by the Board of Management were trained while the schools with low performance had hired some teachers without training. Results have revealed that teachers of the sample lack of motivation and that it is correlated with their performance. The researcher hereby recommends the principals to directing their focus and effort on motivating their teachers to achieve a better performance
