Motivation; Teacher; Job security; Supervision; Proprietor Incentives; Science Teachers; and Secondary Schools.Abstract
In this descriptive survey study, an investigation was made to determine the level of work motivation among secondary school science, social sciences, and humanities teachers and ascertained whether proprietor incentives and supervision are predictors of work motivation among the teachers in Ilorin, Nigeria. Six hundred (600) secondary school teachers were purposively selected from 63 senior secondary schools within Ilorin metropolis. Three valid and reliable research instruments were designed by the researchers to collect data, namely; Proprietor Incentive Questionnaire (PIQ), School Supervision Questionnaire (SSQ), and Teacher Motivation Scale (TMS). The reliability coefficients of the instruments were 0.94, 0.87, and 0.87, respectively. Multiple Regression Analysis, statistical technique was employed to analyze the data gathered using SPSS version 16. Findings revealed that the teachers were moderately motivated and significant difference in favour of public school teachers existed in the levels of teacher work motivation. Social science and science teachers were the most and the least motivated respectively. Also, significant relationships existed among predictors and criterion variables, while Job Security was identified as the most influential variable in predicting teacher work motivation. It was concluded that the teachers were not fully motivated. The researchers advocated that; school proprietors, should avoid mass retrenchment of teachers to enhance job security, and implement the full complement of the Teacher Special Salary Scale; and supervisors should adopt a teacher-friendly mentor-supervisor approach.
