INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
For s very long time, man has continued to work for his survival and for any effort exerted. He expected satisfaction. It is believed that satisfaction derived spared him further to reach the present stage of development. It has always supervised this researcher from various findings such as daily news, magazines and ordinary discussion with individuals to note that some sectors have the economy of business units grow more than others.
While others wallow in bankruptcy and eventually collapse in efficiency and woeful performance or is it that the unit gives special incentives to their workers that they are able to maximize their efficiency and effectiveness? And if so are these incentives to for reaching that the declaiming unit cannot offer. The status of a nation depends largely on the output of the citizens in fact the strength of the nation is the addition of the individual strength. Why some countries are more developed than others. There is no doubt that the heights they have reached are the handwork of the citizen then it is not out of place to think that sole nation having better motivational factors than others, it then night follow that some nation are not capable, of providing these, hence the citizen have not put in their best herald their in the public. It so what are these factors that so difficult some nation.
The researchers have been particularly disturbed with the performance of the educational sector of the economy, government has cover the years continue to employ more able staff than hither to man it ever increasing institutions in the pasts decade, the majority of teaching secondary school and primary schools were West Africa Certificate and first school learning certificate holders respectively, the 1980, till date have witnessed against strike by all state government to ensure that the Nigerian certificate in education and first degree is the last qualification to qualify one to teach in primary and secondary schools respectively. It is out of the requirement of the 6-3-3-4 national policies on education.
Ironically, however, from the comparative view of the result of SOS and now from school performance analysis have shamefully be poorer than those produced the standard teachers of the 1970s, many have suggested that the teachers we have in the 70’s were more hardworking than the present. But is it not that the present teachers are more aware of their right conditions of service etc. that is been denied come to think of it, how do you expect somebody to put in his best when the necessary. As Harzbery et al (1959) have indicated when some of these wants are not met. They may lead to low job performance. More workers are concentrated in student performance problems and how they could be solved by these has been met with increasing useful result. This researcher believes that the teacher have to be sufficiently motivated it good results are expected. It is against these background workers in general and the recent development in Edo State educational institutions has it related to teachers in particular that necessitated the present study.
