ABSTRACT
Motivation is the key to creating an environment where optimal
performance is possible in organisations including educational institutions. On the
basis of this assertion, this study focused on the ‘correlates of job motivation
among teachers of second cycle institutions in the Mampong Municipality of
Ashanti Region’.
The research design used was a descriptive survey with a sample of 119
respondents. The respondents were graduate teachers selected from
Amaniampong, Saint Joseph Seminary and Saint Monica’s Senior High Schools.
A questionnaire was the instrument that was used to collect data for the study.
The questionnaire was pilot-tested with respondents selected from the Kofiase
Seventh-day Adventist Senior High School with 20 respondents. Data collected
were edited and analysed manually and electronically using the SPSS.
Specifically, frequency tables and percentages were used to present the results
that emerged from the analysis. The results of the study indicated that 70% to
95% of graduate teachers agreed with factors that other researchers proposed to be
the factors that motivate graduate teachers, while about 62% were dissatisfied
with the conditions of service.
Based on the findings of the study it was recommended that the Ghana
Education Service should take remedial measures to address the concerns raised
by respondents especially, those that related to salary, incentives, opportunity for
professional growth and development and promotion modalities.
