THE EFFECT
OF MOTIVATION ON ECONOMICS TEACHERS PERFORMANCE
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1.BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
In
organizational psychology, it is frequently expressed that job performances is
a function of ability and motivation. Performance can be regarded as almost any
behaviour which is directed towards task or goal accomplishment. The importance
of motivation and its effects on employees’ performance and retention is
recognized by many organizations today. Good performance among employees in an
organization has many implications such as high motivation among employees,
outstanding ability, good organizational climate and infrastructure excellent
leadership that can sustain rapport and productivity and good relationship
among staff. Job motivation is important to the effectiveness of an
organization.
In
educational organization, significantly, job satisfaction and motivation are
very essential to the continuing growth of educational system around the world.
The relevance of job satisfaction and motivation are very crucial to the long
term growth of any educational system. They are ranked alongside with professional
knowledge and skills, center competencies educational resources and strategies
as the veritable determinants of educational success and performance.
Professional knowledge, skills and centre competencies occur when one feels
effective in one’s behaviour. In other words, professional knowledge skills and
competencies can be seen when one is taking on the mastering challenging tasks
directed at educational success and performance. Needs satisfaction and
motivation to work are very essential in the lives of teachers because they
form the fundamental reason for working in life. An economics teachers who is
highly achievement motivated would tend to be very conscientious in his or her
work and tend to be more responsible while almost every economics teacher works
in order to satisfy other needs in lye he/she constantly agitates for needs
satisfaction, that is why motivation is said to be the activation or
energization of goal oriented behaviour. Motivation is defined as some kind of
internal drive which pushes someone to do things in order to achieve something
(Hairnes 2001) Achievement motivation becomes the driving factor for future
understanding and can be defined as a predisposition to strive for success.
1.10.STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
It is
assumed that teachers’ agitation and demand are beyond the resources of the
ministry of education or the government. As a result the Nigerian Government
and Union of Teachers (NUT) are in constant stand-off over the increase in
salaries benefits and improvement in teachers working conditions. The Federal
and State Government have argued during the National Council on Education (NCE)
meeting which held in Kano 2002 that the present economic realities in the
country cannot sustain the demand of teachers.
In economics
education, it is obvious that without economics teachers there will be no
economist in the nation. It becomes a basic necessity if the nation is to
advance in economic development and keep abreast with other nations of the
world. The problem is that economies teachers have no union unlike other
subjects like mathematics, English to mention but this two. They only depend of
the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT).
The
government position concerns the job performance of teachers as they accuse the
teachers of negligence, laziness and lack of dedication and zeal to work. It is
realized that the act of neglecting the request for salary increment,
incentives and better working condition of the economics teachers would
adversely affect and in fact retard the economic development of the nation in
future.
