Abstract
Globally, teacher performance is a significant challenge for education,
necessitating effective strategies to combat low morale and ensure adequate
school performance (Gitonga, 2012). This study investigated the relationship
between headteacher motivation strategies and Teacher Performance in
secondary schools in the Serere district. Head teachers in Serere District are
faced challenges such as lack of supervision, low assessment, absenteeism and
non-participation in school activities, leading to a 50% decline in performance.
Research was needed to understand the relationship between motivation
strategies and teachers’ performance. With a sample size of 246 respondents,
including head teachers and teachers, a cross-sectional correlation survey
methodology was employed.The Spearman Rank Order Correlation
Coefficient was utilized to analyze the data that were collected through
surveys.The results showed a favorable relationship between head teachers'
motivation and secondary school teachers' performance in the Serere district,
suggesting that accommodations, salary increases, and capacity building
encourage teachers to work hard.The research findings indicated a positive
association between the motivational strategies employed by head teachers
and the performance of teachers in secondary schools within the Serere
District. The study suggested that additional policies should be introduced to
bolster and sustain the existing framework of head teachers' motivational
strategies. It further recommended revisiting and refining policies related to
their implementation to foster continuous improvement in teachers'
performance. Additionally, the study proposed the exploration of further
research avenues to delve into motivation strategies and teachers' job
satisfaction in secondary schools specifically within the Serere District.
