Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, grade: 3.4, University of Jos (National Teacher's Institute), course: Post graduate diploma in Education, language: English, abstract: The study investigated teachers’ motivation and its effect on teachers’ performance in Nigeria using a descriptive survey research design. Thirty teachers and 50 students were randomly selected from three government secondary schools in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. Data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire. Responses were presented using descriptive statistics and analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient statistical method to confirm the hypotheses generated for the study at 5% probability level. The findings of this study reveal that there is a significant relationship between teachers’ remuneration and quality teaching in Nigeria. Based on the findings of this research study, teachers' remuneration significantly affect both extrinsic and intrinsic motivating factors, increased teacher absenteeism, teachers-students interpersonal relationships as well as commitment to work, consequently contributing to dwindling educational quality and academic performance of primary school students. As such, highly-motivated, well-trained and professionally supported teachers are crucial for an effective education system in Nigeria.
