Abstract

The study inquired into the principals’ usage of the skills for motivation and delegation to influence the performance of teachers in the area of study. All 293 school principals constitute the population. Five (5) Local government areas were randomly selected for the study and their teachers were the respondents. Two research questions provided a guide to the study. A “Questionnaire of Motivation and Delegation skills of Principals’ was adopted to obtain information from the respondents. A modified Likert’s four-point rating scale was used to rate the instrument, with 2.50 as an accepted mean score. Mean (X) and standard deviation (SD) were used in answering the research questions while the ‘t’ test was used for the hypothesis at a significant level of 0.05. As revealed by the results, principals apply the skills for motivation and delegation of duties to a very low level. Furthermore, the result shows that the difference in the mean ratings of the respondents for urban and rural principals is not significant. These prompted the recommendation for training of principals on the skills for management of staff especially for motivation and delegation of duties. Government should also make use of supervision reports to enhance performance.
