Abstract
The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of provision of fringe benefits and the nature
of working conditions under remuneration practices on teachers~ efficiency in secondary schools
Wakiso.
The study was qualitative and quantitative; and descriptive-correlation research design was used
in the study. The researcher used purposive and simple random sampling techniques to select the
research participants respectively from selected secondary schools.
The target population was 225 and the sample size of the participants was 166. Data was
collected using questionnaire as research instrument and analyzed by means of descriptive
statistics, namely; frequencies, percentage, and mean. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used
to establish the relationship between remuneration practices and teachers~’ efficiency 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 were still favorable to some employees and this
reflected undesirable behaviors among the employees. Good working conditions were necessary
for all employees for their effective performance in institutions. The study showed that the
payment of salaries and wages have no direct bearing on teachers~ performance. The study
findings indicated that 70.9% of respondents with a high mean of 3.563 1 reported that fringe
benefits like allowances, recognition, promotion and praises still depends on availability of funds
and management’s perception. These benefits had an effect on teachers~ efficiency when paid
after completion of the task. The nature of working conditions was still favorable in some
institutions and this affected the actual performances in schools. Good working conditions were
therefore, pertinent for all employees’ efficiency in any institutions. The study findings also
indicated a weak correlation between remuneration practices and teachers~ efficiency as Pearson
correlation was -.106 and the coefficient of determination was 0.0112, which is 1.12% level of
determination; and this implies that there are other many factors that contribute to teachers”
efficiency. In conclusion, the results of the study indicated that there is a very weak relationship
