INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The teaching profession previously was accorded with respect, honor and
dignity. This enviable profession was a sort of motivation to many teachers.
Also not only afford life career and permanent membership but also renders
services to the public. It has code of ethics; the code of ethics for teachers
is contained in the handbooks of the Nigeria union of teachers. They were
revealed and give pride of place in the study. But recently, the government and
all its organs neglect teachers and the educational sector, while motivation
can be brought about by adequate remuneration, fringe benefits and recognition.
They can also be made to occupy high social status in the society.
However, in spite of the facts that this motivation was not really there,
teachers still did their work conscientiously producing desired result. There
is no doubt before 1980 teachers started to recognize their own worth and
demand for their right when these was not forth coming their attitude to their
work began to change and this was the beginning of the down word side in
education in the country. It was also the beginning of industrial actions by
teacher’s nationwide. From 1980 till date, the country had witnessed countless
number of strikes and counters strikes as the many other establishments,
strikes is a common action embarked upon by workers over the years. There have
been wide spread concern on what teachers can do effectively and how this
condition of services could be achieved, the resultant effect was a further
determination of students performance. This has been the major concern of the

expert point of view the level of performance in way organization are
remunerated and other monetary incentives. There is no other saying that the
primary motive of investing is to meet the organization goals therefore there
are certain factors which need to be considered in order to attain the above is
the realization of objectives. Moreover, it is important to note that
motivation is important if the desired level of performance would be attained.
Thus the employers they should be aware that old methods of persuading society
to produce the desired result. Therefore, it is necessary for employers of
labour to be fully equipped with all the motivational tools and their
applications if the stated organizational objectives would be activated. It is
the hope and the belief of the researcher that if employers wants their
employee to perform effectively they should reciprocate by providing the
necessary incentives for examples newspaper, daily times in expressing the
light of teachers work that it is totally unjustifiable and well reasonable to
notice bond treatment towards teachers.
Teachers arte the producers of the following bank manager, oil miners, judge,
chief accountant, lawyers, senators, governors even the president. But it is
the salary of the teachers that is always delayed and it is the arrears of
salaries to teachers that are usually dumped in sides dustbins untouched at the
school boards is in heaven. Thus they succeeded in maintaining and improving
educational standard as by Ubjuke effective performance on the part of the employers
is essential for the success of the organization. An understanding of what
motivate individual is necessary to reveal and potential released.
