Abstract
This study explores the impact of motivation on the performance of primary school teachers in Bungokho Sub County. Recognizing that teachers play a critical role in shaping educational outcomes, the research examines various motivational factors, including intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, job satisfaction, and professional development opportunities. Through a mixed-methods approach, data were collected via surveys and interviews with teachers and educational administrators. The findings indicate that motivated teachers demonstrate higher levels of engagement, creativity in lesson planning, and improved student interactions, leading to enhanced academic performance among students. Conversely, lack of motivation correlates with increased absenteeism and lower teaching effectiveness. The study concludes that fostering a supportive and motivating environment is essential for improving teacher performance, ultimately contributing to better educational outcomes in the region. Recommendations for policy interventions and future research avenues are discussed to further enhance teacher motivation and effectiveness.
