Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to assess Public primary school teachers’ perception on the effectiveness of their rewards on the performance of their job. The study employed a descriptive survey. A total of 240 respondents that teaches in the public primary schools were selected by simple random sampling. Data gathering instruments include document analysis and questionnaire. The data obtained was then analyzed using simple descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean scores and standard deviation, and regression. The result shows the existence of a significant positive relationship between intrinsic rewards and teacher performance and also the existence of a significant positive relationship between extrinsic rewards and teacher performance. So the intrinsic and extrinsic rewards were perceived as effective in increasing the performance of teachers and also from the rated mean score results the intrinsic rewards were perceived more effective in enhancing job performance than the extrinsic rewards. However from the perception of the teachers the finding indicated that there is still an issue about the commensuration of salary to the work the teachers do. The study recommends that there should be a concerted effort by the school managements and sub city educational offices to maintain and improve the quality of education provided by those schools by improving the compensation that the teacher’s receive and using different rewarding techniques like training and development opportunities, regular recognition methods to enhance teacher’s performance and provide benefits that encourage entry level teachers to encourage the profession
