Exploring the extent to which secondary school managers apply motivation strategies to inspire teachers in their schools.

Abstract

Motivation is a set of psychological processes that cause the arousal, direction andpersistence of individual’s behaviour towards attaining a goal (Greenbery, J. and Baron, R.A., 2003). In Malawian public schools it is a toll order for school managers who try to mprove the motivation of teachers. This is due to the nature of Malawi’s public service that does not accord them a means to improve the conditions prevailing on the ground in order to stimulate teachers under their charge (Mitchel, 1982).
