ABSTRACT
This study investigated the impact of motivation on the performance of Community
secondary school teachers in Mufindi district. Specifically, the study sought to find
out whether motivation of teachers had any effect on their morale to perform work
and; the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on the performance of teachers.
A cross sectional survey design approach was adopted for the study with both
qualitative and quantitative approaches. A total sample of 99 respondents including
teachers, head teachers, District Education Officer and secretary of teachers Union
(TTU) were consulted. Data were collected through semi structured interviews,
questionnaires, observation and documentary review.
The study reveals that, motivation packages to teachers in community based
secondary schools were inadequate. This was evident in the non-availability of
residential accommodation, lack of extra allowance inadequate salary and poor
recognition and respect from the community as well lack of enough resources to
ensure incentives to teachers,
In order to improve teacher’s motivation and performance, the study recommended
increase in the salary of secondary school teachers to match the increased cost of
living, there should be provision of accommodation to teachers, and extra allowances
to attribute good performance among teachers. The study concluded that in order to
improve the quality of secondary education and teacher effectiveness in Tanzania,
motivation is not an option, but rather a central issue that needs to be prioritized.
