The research study investigated the impact of motivation on teachers’ performances in government secondary schools in Ekiti North Senatorial District of Ekiti State in Nigeria. Two research questions and two sets of research hypotheses were formulated. A modified Likert-type questionnaire consisting of 13 items were used for data collection. A purposive sampling technique was used to sample 240 teachers in the area of study. Research questions were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. A t-statistic was used to test the hypotheses at an alpha level of 0.05. the results of the analyses showed that regular promotions of salary scales would go a long way to making teachers to be more productive. It equally suggested that good training programmes for teachers such as conferences, workshops and seminars will help to improve and boost teachers’ skills which will equally help in encouraging them to put extra efforts in their duties. The involvement and inclusion of the classroom teachers in decision-making in matters relating to school management and education administration in general will equally help to motivate teachers. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others that government should implement incentive based schemes for teachers such as improved salary scales, prompt payment of teachers’ salaries, full payment of annual leave allowances among others. Teachers should be involved in the policy making process regarding education in the country by the government. By so doing, the government has created a sense of belonging and purpose of unity among teachers.
