ABSTRACT

This study examined teachers’ incentives as determinant of job productivity in public secondary schools in Abia State. Five research questions and five hypotheses guided the study. Correlation research design was adopted  for the study. The multi-stage sampling was used for the study, a consensus sampling technique was used to draw three education zones in Abia, a simple random sampling of the local government area was conducted to select two local government areas each from the education zones using balloting without replacement and a proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select 351 teachers in public secondary schools in Abia State with the aid of krejcie and Morgan formula. The instrument that was used for data collection  was a questionnaire. The data collected for the study was analyzed using Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC) to answer research questions while the hypotheses formulated were tested using linear regression (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The findings  of the study revealed that staff welfare relates to teachers’ job productivity in public secondary schools to a very high extent, work environment correlates to teachers’ job productivity in public secondary schools to a high extent, teachers’ salary structure positively relate to teachers’ job productivity in public secondary schools to a very high extent, intrinsic benefits relate job productivity in public secondary schools to a high extent and extrinsic benefits relates teachers’ job productivity to a very high extent.  It was recommended among others that Government should provide facilities that improve staff welfare so as to enhance job productivity in public secondary schools.
