The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of principals’ selected
administrative tasks on teachers’ motivation in public secondary schools in
Kibwezi East Sub-County, Makueni County, Kenya. The study was guided by
five research objectives. The research objectives sought to determine the
influence of principal’ planning task on teachers’ motivation in public secondary
schools; assess the influence of principals’ organizational leadership task on
teachers’ motivation in public secondary schools; establish the influence of
principals’ delegation task on teachers’ motivation in public secondary schools;
establish the influence of principals’ instructional supervision task on teachers’
motivation in public secondary schools and finally find out the influence of
principals’ decision making task on teachers’ motivation in public secondary
schools in Kibwezi Sub-County, Kenya. Study was based on descriptive survey
design. The sample for the study was 31 principals and 88 teachers. Data for the
study was collected by use of questionnaires. Data was analysed by use of
descriptive statistics. Findings also revealed that 62.6 percent of the teachers were
highly motivated with the principals’ performance of organisational leadership
task, 62.6 percent of the teachers were highly motivated with the principals’
performance of organisational leadership task. The study also revealed that 33.3
percent of the teachers were highly motivated with the principals’ practices of
instructional supervision task, 43.2 percent were moderately motivated with 23.4
were lowly motivated. It was also revealed that teachers were motivated by with
the principals’ practice on decision making. Based on the findings the study
concluded teachers were motivated with the planning tasks. Teachers were
motivated with the principals’ decision making task with which teachers were
motivated. The study recommended that principals should perform their planning
task always and not sometimes as indicated by the study.The study therefore
recommends that principals should perform the organisational leadership always
so that teachers’ motivation can be improved. The study therefore recommends
that principals should practice the delegation task always rather than sometimes as
this would increase teachers’ motivation. The study also recommends that the
principals should perform instructional supervision and decision making tasks
always rather than sometimes so as to improve teachers’ motivation. Taking the
limitations and delimitations of the study the researcher suggested that since the
study was carried out in administrative Sub-County, a similar study should be
conducted in other arears so that to compare the results. Since the study focussed
on selected administrative tasks the study suggests that a study on other
administrative tasks should be carried out to establish whether the tasks would
have an influence of teacher’s motivation. |
