Abstract: The study adopted a descriptive survey to investigate factors that influence job performance of junior high school teachers in Gomoa East District in the Central Region of Ghana. The population of the study was 60 junior high school teachers. Samples of 50 trained teachers were selected purposively. Data were gathered through the use of questionnaire. It was found that teachers were not regular in school, head teachers did not delegate responsibilities to teachers and students have learning difficulties. The study recommends that government reviews teachers’ condition of service and incorporate certain elements of incentives to boost their morale to work effectively. Again, school authorities must mobilize funds internally to help support teachers whose performance happened to be extremely good. Head teachers must involve teachers in decision making process through dialogues and frequent organization of staff meetings for them to air their views on what is bordering them and ways of improving the school system as such. Students must be made to adhere to rules and regulations through proper orientation and induction during their first day in the school and periodically, a meeting between school management and the students to throw more light on ways to adhere to such rules.
