This study investigated the contributions of teachers' motivation towards job
performance; basing on 4 study objectives as described in. However, the study which
was conducted in Iringa Urban District due to the grounds related to academic matters
was sought to find out whether teachers' motivation has an effect on work morale
towards their job performance. A cross sectional survey design was adopted for
collection of data from different schools, at one point in a time. Qualitative and
quantitative as the study approaches were used for triangulation purpose, with a total
sample of 130 respondents. Data were collected through semi structured interview,
questionnaires and direct observation which supplemented the information collected.
The study employed content analysis for quantitative data and thematic analysis for
qualitative data
Furthermore, the study used stratified random sampling for selection of teachers, while
purposive sampling were for schools, heads of schools, WECs, MSEO, TTU, TSD and
ZQA officers. Results achieved in this study showed poor motivation for teachers, a
situation which had a domino effect on academic and job performance, hence the study
is expected to contribute on awareness to the government and other educational
stakeholders about the importance of teachers‟ motivation towards job performance. Due
to inadequate motivation packages to teachers as evidenced by their complaints, the
study recommends an increase in salaries, introduction of some common allowances and
other professional development programmes.
Based on these findings, the study concludes that, in order to obtain quality education,
the issue of teachers‟ motivation is inevitable, and should be a central agendum that
needs to be prioritized by the government as one of its pre conditions to make it realize
its aspiration of having an industrialized country as part of middle income countries. |
