COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT AND TEACHER JOB EFFECTIVENESS IN PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN OGUN STATE

Abstract

The study explored the relationship between compensation management and teachers' job effectiveness in private secondary schools in Ogun State. The descriptive survey design was employed with sample of 448 respondents selected through multi-stage sampling. Two research instruments, "Teacher Compensation Questionnaire (TCQ)" and "Teacher's Job Effectiveness Rating Scale (TJERC)," were used. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation were applied to analyze the data. Findings indicated that private junior secondary schools offered a compensation system comprising salary and transportation, with teachers' overall compensation level considered poor despite their high job effectiveness. The study revealed a positive relationship between compensation and job effectiveness, with significant correlations between various compensation components and job effectiveness. Consequently, the study concluded that a positive relationship existed between teachers' compensation and job effectiveness and recommended that private school management improve teachers' compensation levels to reach an average level, enabling them to compete with the pay offered in public schools.
