The Impact of Non-Monetary Motivation Measures on Teacher Performance and Job Satisfaction in Government Schools: A Case Study of Kabwe

The study investigated the impact of non-monetary motivation measures on teachers in government schools in Kabwe. Non-monetary motivation referred to factors such as recognition, professional development opportunities, work-life balance, and overall job satisfaction. These elements were considered critical in enhancing teacher performance, improving morale, and ultimately contributing to the quality of education. To achieve this, the research employed a case study approach targeting selected government schools in Kabwe. Data was gathered through a combination of surveys, interviews, and observations to understand how non-monetary motivation was being applied and how it influenced teachers' levels of motivation and satisfaction in their roles. The study identified specific non-monetary measures that significantly affected teachers and explored both the challenges and potential associated with implementing such strategies. It also assessed how these measures could be improved to better support and sustain teacher motivation. The findings provided useful insights for policymakers, school administrators, and other educational stakeholders. These insights were expected to inform the development of more effective strategies and policies aimed at boosting teacher motivation, job satisfaction, and overall educational outcomes, not only in Kabwe but in similar educational environments as well.
