  • BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It is not out of place to say that motivation has always be an important and puzzling technique for managers and employers to achieve their organizational goals. As a result, personal management problems and its effects on secondary school teacher’s performance spring from lack of motivation and incentives for the staff and or employees of the organization.

Motivation is referred from people’s behaviours and cannot be directly observed or measured. However, personal management has evolved a member of techniques to improve workers performance through motivation.

Ukeje (1992:76) stressed that “motivation” is a force which energizes and induce a staff to perform. Based on this assertion, Dugguh (2004) has it that, differences in levels of performance is a reflection of difference in levels of motivation. At any point, staffs vary in the extent to which are willing to direct their energies towards the attainment of the objectives of the organization.

The performance of the staff is as  a result of the ability or skills of the workers to use this ability or skills in the actual performance of the job and the motivation they receive to use this ability or skills in the actual performance of the job.  The researcher is interested in the personnel management problem and how it affects the performance of secondary school teachers in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State.

The staff has suffered from poor motivation which has contributed to poor out-put in the educational system. Apart from the problem of retention of staff and irregular payment of staff salaries: non-implementation of promotions, there is illegal deductions of staff salaries by the post primary school management board the sate universal basic education board and by the education secretaries and the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) officials.
