Frequency distributions of the respondents indicating the level of usefulness for each job satisfier was done in the process of testing the two null hypotheses.

The study recommended a dire need for the Ministry of Education and Sports to put in place and strengthen the job satisfiers that enhance pupils’ academic performance.enEducationPrimary educationTeacher PerformanceThesis
