Abstract: Motivation, which propels individuals to act in a desired manner, is one of the vital management tools that should not be toyed with if the schools’ stated objectives are to be achieved. It is assumed that for teachers to assiduously carry out their responsibilities in the school system, there is need for them to be well-motivated on the job. This study, therefore, investigates motivation as a counter-measure for job effectiveness among teachers in Nigerian secondary institutions. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 2,400 teachers was chosen from all the teachers in Nigerian secondary institutions. A self-designed 24-instrument tagged “Motivation and Teachers’ Effectiveness Questionnaire†was used to poll the respondents. The instrument was subjected to the usual validation procedure, which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.86. Results indicated a correlation between motivation and teachers’ effectiveness. Also, the strongest predictor of teachers’ effectiveness among the motivational strategies is class size, which has a beta weight of 0.491 while condition of service with a beta weight of 0.096 is the least predictor. It was therefore suggested, among others, that the parameters taken into account in this study should be viewed as tools by stakeholders in the education sector for achieving teachers’ effectiveness.
