Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate teachers’ perception and their relationship
between reward, compensation, and their performance. Hence, it examined the
relationship between fairly rewarded and c compensated teachers and their performance
the relationship between highly motivated teachers and their performance, and the
relationship between the effectiveness and efficiency of the school and the motivational
level of its teachers. In gathering information, the research study employed both primary
and secondary sources. The primary source was mainly the distributed questionnaires
and the secondary sources were the library work and internet explorer. The study used
survey as its research design. Five Secondary Schools from Bugiri District, Uganda were
purposely selected to serve as a sample. However, in selecting the respondents, random
sampling was used. Fifty teachers, ten from each school and twenty five students, five
from each school make the sample population. Tables and charts were used in organizing
the data and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was the technique employed in analyzing
the collected data. From the findings of the study, it was revealed that the relationship
between fairly rewarded and compensated teachers and their teaching performance, the
relationship between highly motivated teachers and their teaching performance, and the
relationship between the effectiveness and efficiency of the school and the motivational
level of its teachers were significant. The findings further indicate that teachers were not
happy with their school’s rewarding and compensating system. The study therefore,
recommended that remuneration of the teachers should be improved and given on time.
The schools also need to provide reasonable allowance and establish a conducive
atmosphere through which the teachers could be motivated to perform their tasks well.
