Abstract
This study examined the relationships between incentive, recognition and teacher job performance in senior secondary schools in Sokoto State. Correlational survey research design was employed in the study. The study population consists of 3457 teachers and 18247 SS2 students across 132 senior secondary schools in Sokoto State. A Stratified and proportionate sampling technique were used to select 24, senior secondary schools, 346 teachers and 378 SS2 students across six education zones in Sokoto State. Three validated researcher-developed instruments; (i) Incentive Rating Scale (IRS) (ii) Recognitions Rating Scale (RRS) (iii) Teacher Job Performance Rating Scale (TJPRS) were used for data collection. Test- retest method was used in establishing reliability of the instruments. The two tests were computed and run through Person Product Moment Correlation coefficient (PPMCC). The reliability indexes of 0.89, 0.74 and 0.85 were established for IRS, RRS and TJPS respectively. Data collected were analysed using Person Product Moment Correlation statistics. Finding revealed statistically significant relationship between incentives, recognition and teacher job performance in senior secondary schools (incentive r=.87 and recognition r=.78). Part of the recommendations stated that Government and School authorities should strengthen financial and non-financial reward systems that encourage teachers to stay committed to their job performance in senior secondary schools in Sokoto State.
