INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The importance of motivation to induce positive work attitude from teachers cannot be overemphasized. Good working conditions and welfare scheme which meet the needs of teachers enhances teachers’ job performance and productivity. According to Locke and Latham (2004) when a worker is satisfied he will produce more. He therefore used this assertion to determine the relation between motivation, satisfaction and job performance. The motivation of workers constitute a fundamental issue in every organization which aims at achieving a given objective. Teachers require their expectations to be met through motivation. Motivation is the inducement of people to actions, willingness and goals. It leads to greater performance and productivity. Motivation is the direction of people’s behavior towards a desired course of action. Ryan, Richard M.; Deci, Edward L. (2000). It is a set of force that acts behind the motives. An individual’s motivation may be inspired by others or events which are refered to as extrinsic motivation or it may come from within the individual known as intrinsic motivation. Motivation inspires a person to greater productivity and positive work attitude. Motivation is the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors which leads to high levels of achievement.
