Abstract
This study aimed to assess the contribution of non-monetary rewards
on job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Kole District.
Data were collected using documentary analysis. The findings reveal
that promotions are rare in Kole District Local Government. Study
findings for the second question reveal that recognition does not only
motivate regular teachers but also Head teachers in Kole district with a
response rate of 65%. And, that 80% of primary school teachers point
to personal growth as the major source of non-financial motivation.
Majority of the teachers were not satisfied with their job. However,
there are issues regarding teamwork, limited promotion opportunities,
political interference and apathy. It is recommended that there is
need for Kole District to come up with clear promotion procedures,
staff development to enhance productivity and promote self-fulfilment.
There is a need to improve on supervision of the employees at all
levels of the District Council. Funds for training should be made more
adequate to meet workers training needs. There is need to provide
adequate transportation for official duty. A system that rewards high
performance and discourages low and mediocre performance should
be put in place. Participation of primary school teachers at Kole
District Local Government should be given priority henceforth
teachers participation; in the decision-making process must be
institutionalized
