Abstract:
In today’s world, motivation is a major problem that is currently faced by
different institutions, organizations and employees. The present study investigates the
impact of motivation on teacher’s job performance in private secondary schools of
Pakistan. Present study was conducted in private secondary schools of twin cities of
Pakistan i.e. Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The convenient sampling technique was used
and primary data gathered from 125 respondents from ten schools. The present research
study is a cross sectional study and an adopted questionnaire is used for gathering data.
The collected data was based on available motivational packages in private secondary
schools. The relationship between motivation and performance of teachers was also
determined. The SPSS 20 software is used to analyze the results and the results are
presented in form of graphs, percentages, pie charts, figures and bar charts. The results
were discussed with the support of previous literature and findings of study showed that
job security and work environment, opportunity for further study/learning, empowerment
and monetary incentives were available in private secondary schools of Pakistan but there
is no realistic policy implementation about these motivational packages. The findings of
study also reveal that good working environment and job security, monetary incentive
and authority and independence are somehow strong motivational factors that affect the
performance of teachers. The study also suggested some policy recommendations to
improve the performance of teachers.
