Efficiency and productivity of human resource depends upon many factors including
motivation. The study on “Perceptions of governmental secondary school teachers towards
their motivations and its effects to their performance in Tanzania done in Ilemela district”
aimed at evaluating perceptions of governmental teachers towards their motivations and its
effects to their work-performance. Three objectives: to evaluate the perceptions of
governmental teachers towards their motivations; to assess effects of the motivations towards
teachers’ performance and lastly suggest alternative measures for improving teachers’
performance guided the study.
Chapter two covers literature review which addresses motivation strategies, effects of
motivation and the theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs guiding the study because it
emphasizes on the idea that, motivation is based on a hierarchy of needs.
The methodological section employed a case study design interviewing school heads and
DEO while questionnaires were for both teachers and students forming a sample size of 235
respondents. Both purposive and simple random sampling techniques were respectively used.
Findings from the field showed that, most teachers had negative perception towards
motivation due to dissatisfaction with it negatively affecting performance. For example, most
students and teachers said teachers were to some extent or lowly satisfied with the
motivations they get. The evidence is the frequent complains and protests done by them as
heard in mass media.
Therefore, the government as an employer should ensure that all problems associated with
teachers’ motivation are dealt with high effort and on time, this is because delaying them
discourages workers including teachers in their work performance. |
