ABSTRACT
Teacher motivation has become an important issue because teachers impart knowledge and skills into learners. This study investigated the influence of motivation on teachers‘ performances in the Public senior high/technical schools in the Bawku Municipality. Specifically, the study sought to find out whether motivation of teachers had any influence on their morale to perform and; the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on the performance of teachers. The study adopted a cross sectional survey with a total sample of 215 respondents including Headmasters/mistress and teachers. Questionnaire was used to collect the data for the study. The data was analysed using frequency counts, simple percentage, mean ranking and standard deviation. The research revealed that the performance of teachers was good despite the fact that their motivation was inadequate as evidenced from reporting early at school, regular testing and examination of pupils and high turn up of teachers in staff meetings and school occasions among others. In order to improve teacher motivation and performance at work, the study recommended an increase in the salary of teachers to match with the increased cost of living, provision of accommodation to teachers, strengthening of supervision as well as instituting awards for good performance.
