Background
The study aimed to establish the effect of teachers’ remuneration on teachers’ efficiency in private secondary schools in Nansana municipality, Wakiso District.
Methodology
A cross-sectional survey research design was utilized. The study involved 108 respondents namely 9 Directors, 9 head teachers, and 90 teachers randomly selected from 9 Schools. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, interview guide, and documentary analysis. Data collected was compiled, sorted, and organized in frequencies and percentages.
Results
The results were subjected to an x2 test at a 0.05% confidence interval and 6 degrees of freedom with a critical x² value at 12.59. The chi-square values obtained from the head teachers, teachers, and directors were 18.15, 14.94, and 37.51 respectively. The null hypothesis was rejected because the observed x2 values obtained were above the critical x² value at 12.59. Therefore the study findings indicated that the reward system affects teachers’ motivation.
Conclusion
It was then concluded that teachers’ motivation was subject to the existing reward system. Teacher’s remuneration is majorly determined by the interests of proprietors than based on the teachers’ ability, experience, and performance. This explains why teachers in private schools do not receive the same payments. Some private schools have better pay for their teachers and as such stand to maintain their teachers longer. Some teachers are better remunerated than others. Those who are favored have a higher motivation than those who are not.
Recommendation
Private secondary schools should improve their reward systems and the Ministry of Education should intervene to determine the minimum monthly pay to teachers so that teachers are properly rewarded on the existing cost of living, work performance, experience, and education levels.
