the nature of working conditions under motivational practices on teacher's

was collected using questionnaire as research instrument and analyzed by means of
descriptive statistics, namely; frequencies, percentage, and mean. Pearson

practices and teacher's performance in secondary schools.
The findings from the study indicated that 59.2% of the respondents with a high
mean of 3 .5464 reported that the nature of working conditions are still favorable to
