Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
teaching profession previously was accorded with respect, honour and dignity.
This enviable profession was a sort of motivation to many teachers. But
recently, the government and all its organs neglect teachers and the
educational sector, while motivation can be brought about by adequate
remuneration fringe benefits and recognition. They can also be made to occupy
high social status in the society. However, inspite of the facts that this
motivation was not really there, teachers still did their work conscientiously
producing desired results. There is no doubt before 1980, teachers started to
recognize their own worth and demand for their right when these which not
forthcoming their attitude to their work began to change and this was the beginning
of the downward side in education in the country it was also the beginning of
industrial actions by teachers nationwide.
till date, the country had witnessed countries number of strikes and counter
strikes as common in the educational system as well as the many other
establishment strikes is a common action embark upon by workers than over the
years. There have been widespread concern on what teachers can do work

further determination of students performance. This has been the major concern

incentives. There is no other saying that the primary motive of incentive is to
meet the organization goals therefore, there are certain factors which need to
be considered in order to attain the stated goals there are level of
performance. Thus, the resultant effect of the above is the realization of
objectives. Moreover, it is important to note that motivation is important is
the desired level performance would be attained. Thus the employers of labour
lack the foresight of the impart of motivation on the performance of employers
they should be aware that old methods of persuading society to produce the
desired result. Therefore, it is necessary for employers of labour to be fully
equipped with all the motivational tools land and their applications if the
stated organizational objectives would be activated.
It is hope
and the belief of the research that, if emp0loyers want their employee to
perform effectively, they should reciprocate by providing the necessary
incentive for example newspaper, daily time in expressing the light of teachers
work that it is totally unjustifiable and well reasonable to notice bond
treatment towards teachers. Teachers are the producers of the following bank
managers, oil miners, judge chief accountant, lawyers, senators, governors even
the president. He wrote it is the salary of teachers that is always delayed and
it is the arrears of salaries to teachers that are usually dumped inside
dustbins untouched at the school boards is in heaven. This they succeeded in
maintaining and improving education standard as by Ubjuku effective performance
on the part of the employers is essential for the success of the organization.
