Abstract
Motivational techniques are effective in improving quality of education. The substantive purpose of the study was to identify the effect of motivational techniques used by elementary school head teachers on the performance of teachers in district Sheikhupura. A survey was conducted through cluster random sampling technique to collect data from 600 elementary school teachers working in District Sheikhpura. A questionnaire with nine main constructs was used to elicit teachers' responses about effectiveness of their head teachers’ motivational techniques. Data were analyzed through appropriate statistical techniques. One-way Analysis of Variance (One-way ANOVA) was applied to identify mean difference in teachers' performance due to motivational techniques used by their heads on the basis of their age groups. Findings of the study revealed that there was a significant difference in teachers' performance on the basis of their age groups on motivational techniques used by their heads such as feedback, recognition, performance appraisal, working condition and delegation of powers. On the basis of findings it is recommended that the government would conduct regular training for the head teachers on motivational techniques through the ministry of education to equip them with skills and knowledge needed in their managerial role. The teachers would be motivated to work to enhance their performance.
