Work environment, performance management, public secondary school teachers, teachers service commission

Abstact The performance of teachers in Kenya, measured from their learners’ performance in KCSE has remained wanting for a long time. In order to address this challenge, the teachers’ employer, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) adopted initiatives to manage the performance of duties of her employees. However, there seems to be no positive impact of these measures. This study sought to establish the influence of performance management initiatives on the performance of public secondary school teachers in Kenya and the moderating effect of work environment on this relationship. . The study utilized a mixed method research design. The study population comprised of 122310 public secondary school teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission, 295 Sub County TSC Directors who are the immediate supervisors of the teachers. Multistage sampling was used to cluster the Country into eight geographical regions as administered by TSC regional directors as Primary Sampling Units (PSUs). Each region was again clustered into counties as Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs) and then each county was clustered into sub counties as Ultimate Sampling Units (USUs), where schools were stratified into National, Extra County, County and Sub County schools where teachers were purposefully selected according to how long they had taught students up to form four per subject and a sub county director from each sub county selected. Slovin’s formula was used to select 399 respondents from teachers and TSC sub county directors. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect primary data from teachers and interview schedules were done for principals and sub county directors. Collected data was analyzed by use of SPSS where both descriptive, inferential and regression statistical techniques were used. Frequencies, Means and Standard Deviations presented the descriptive data while inferential statistical tests were presented using Pearson Product Moment Correlational Coefficient and regression analyses Null hypotheses was tested using stepwise regression analysis. The hypotheses’ results indicated that Work environment significantly moderated the relationship between performance management initiatives and teacher performance in public secondary schools in Kenya. It was recommended that the Ministry of Education should increase funding to ensure enough infrastructure and teaching/learning facilities in schools. Boards of Management should come up with ways of motivating both teachers and learners in order to improve their performance.
