    (Addis Ababa University, 2025-05) Maru Akalu; Befekadu Zeleke (PhD)
    This study aimed to assess the motivational schemes and their implementation for teachers in government secondary schools within the Lemi Kura Sub-City of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Employing a mixed-method research approach, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document reviews. A total of 123 questionnaires were distributed, with a response rate of 96%. Participants included teachers, principals, and supervisors selected using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The research design was descriptive in nature, focusing on the current status of teacher motivation, the extent of motivational scheme implementation, the challenges encountered, and the impacts on teacher performance. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS (version 22), employing descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were interpreted through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that teachers demonstrated high commitment to their tasks, though they perceived the motivational schemes—particularly financial incentives and fair promotions—as inadequate. The main challenges identified were insufficient budget and a lack of supportive working environments. Despite these challenges, the study confirmed that teacher motivation positively affects their creativity, job satisfaction, retention, and ultimately, student academic performance. The study recommends the development of more structured and equitable motivational schemes to enhance teacher performance and overall school effectiveness.
