Abstract

This descriptive survey investigated the strategies used by principals to motivate teachers in Secondary schools in Ekomdo Titi Sub Division, Ndian Division of the South West Region of Cameroon. It intended to answer one research question; “What strategies do principals in secondary schools in Ekondo Titi Sub Division use to motivate teachers? Data were collected from 140 teachers and 7 principals through the use of a questionnaire made up of structured items and were analyzed using the statistical package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Open-ended items were thematically analyzed. The strategies used by principals to motivate teachers in Secondary schools include issuing certificates of recognition; assigning teachers to represent principals in official meetings; awarding prizes for hard work; recommending teachers for promotion and involving teaching in decision making that affects them. Based on these findings it was recommended as follows: principals need to adopt practices that show they trust teachers, promote greater collaboration between teachers, give timely feedbacks and serve as role models.
