Abstract:
Schools are expected to offer quality educational services through the effort of highly
committed and motivated teachers doing more than they are originally expected to do. The
study assessed the impact of motivational techniques on teacher performance in Sefwi
Wiawso Municipality in the western region. The descriptive survey design was used for
the study. The purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used to select 297
teachers and 3 head teachers from the municipality for the study. A 22-item Likert scale
questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. Basic descriptive and
inferential statistics were computed and a Regression Analysis marked by significant
measure of 0.00 was conducted to assess the relationship and degree of impact between
motivational practices and teacher performance. The study revealed that teachers perceived
motivational practices to have higher effect on the performance of teachers in the
municipality. The study recommended that the Government of Ghana through the Ministry
of Education should promote the betterment of workers especially in educational
institutions to ensure that their welfare issues are timely met, whiles the management of
senior high schools in the Municipality make conscious efforts to outline better strategies
to roll out effective conditions of service to boost the morale of their teachers.
