teacher welfare on teacher performance using data from teachers in the Ghana Education Service
in the Effutu municipality. Consequently, a descriptive survey design with a quantitative
approach staged the study in data collection, which returned 381 completed questionnaires from
teachers in the Effutu municipality. The study assessed the extent of teacher welfare and its
effect of teacher performance. The findings show that teacher welfare is concomitant with
teacher satisfaction. Positive recognition received by teachers, and the robustness of Employee
Welfare Association, including its influence in the teaching service are significant ingredients
influencing teacher performance. The aspect that boosts employee welfare the biggest to create A
positive influence on teacher performance is positive recognition. The study recommends that
the management of the teachers should think innovatively about encouraging teacher
associations. Teachers that show commitment to work ought to know that they are recognized
and appreciated for their work. Management must work hand-in-hand with employee association
