Abstract

This study examined the influence of Perceived Organizational Support on teachers’ motivation in public secondary schools in Dodoma City. It aimed to: examine the relationship between Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and teachers’ motivation in secondary schools, explore the aspects that affect Perceived Organizational Support (POS) to teachers in schools and to find out challenges facing educational managers in creating Perceived Organizational Support (POS) in schools. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design and mixed approach to collect data from 120 respondents. The findings showed that there was no relationship between Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and teachers’ motivation in schools. Moreover, workplace environment, teachers and management perception, change of policies in education especially work promotion, and Government priorities were the most aspects that affect Perceived Organizational Support (POS) among teachers. Furthermore, it was revealed that, educational managers faced challenges like leader’s consideration, the psychological leadership, teachers’ perception, transformation and transactional leadership. This study concluded that Perceived Organizational Support does not influence teachers’ motivation and therefore there may be other factors that motivate teachers in schools. This study recommends that the government should motivate teachers through handling their rights and needs. Keywords: Perceived Organizational Support, Teachers’ Motivation, Secondary Schools
