dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate institution factors influencing
teachers motivation levels in public primary schools in Likoni Division, Mombasa
county, Kenya. This study is significant because it is meant to mitigate low
acheivmeent of results in Likoni Division compared to other divisions in
Mombasa county despite having enough teachers in the division. This study used
a descriptive survey design with a target population of 17 headteachers and 278
teachers in public primary schools in Likoni division, Mombasa county. This
research sampled eight headteachers and 80 teachers from the 17 public primary
schools by stratified sampling method. The main instrument in this study was
self-completion questionnaire that was used to collect data for both headteahcers
and teachers.
The data was analysed separately, the questionnaire for headteachers had two
parts. Part one had six demographic questions where the responses for each
question was analysed in percentages and presented in tables, and figures. Part
two of the headteacher’s questionnaire had also six questions on their role to
improve motivation. These questions had Yes or No responses and headteachers’
responses for each question was analysed in percentage in tabular form. The
teachers questionnaire had three parts. Part one had seven demographic questions
where responses of each question was analyzed and presented in tables and
figures. Part two of teachers questionnaire were analysed using a five point Likert
scale. Part three of the teachers questionnaire had five open ended questions
which were analyzed using thematic discussions.
The initiative put in place by SMC and headteahcers indicated that SMC allocated
monies to improve working conditions in public primary schools in Likoni
Division, Mombasa county. 75 percent of headteachers agreed that SMC allocate
money to improve working conditions and as a result influenced motivation
positively. The findings on the amount of workload allocated by headteahcers was
that 67 teahcers in Likoni were extremely satisfied with the amount of workload
allocated by headteachers but it was not clear whether this translated into high
levels of motivation.
The findings on headteahcer supervision practices showed that 56 teachers
strongly agreed headteachers supervision was effective and study concluded that
Likoni teachers are satisfied with headteachers supervision but it is not clear if
this translates to high level of motivation.
The findings on career progression prospects was that 36 teachers strongly agreed
with career progression prospects and this study concluded that teachers in Likoni
strongly agreed that career progression prospects influence levels of motivation
but it not clear whether this translates into high levels of motivation. This research
study as made suggestions for further study to clarify the relationship between
high workload and teachers motivation levels. It further suggests clarification of
relationship between poor head teachers relationship and motivational levels and
finally the study made suggestion to clarify the relationship between meaningful
and long career paths and teachers motivation levels. | en |
