Abstract
This study sought to investigate the influence of motivation on teachers’ performance at Secondary Schools in Galkayo, Galmudug. It was guided by four objectives; financial factors, working conditions, promotions, and professional development on job performance. A descriptive survey research design was adopted to gather information through the structured questionnaire with 58 Secondary school teachers. Online questionnaires are distributed to the teachers of Secondary Schools through KOBOTOOLBOX. Data were analyzed with the support of SPSS (static packages of social scientists) using the computer in which descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were generated and presented in frequency distribution tables. The study, upon data collection, realized a good questionnaire response rate of 91.3%. The key study findings showed that the performance of teachers was high although their motivation was low to encourage them to work hard. The findings also revealed that most teachers facilitate the teaching and learning process with high confidence and efficiency, due to evidence that most of them came early to school.
