Training and Development, Job Satisfaction, Perceived Organisational Support and Job Performance of Public Primary Schools Teachers in Nigeria

Effectiveness of any educational system is largely dependent on the performance of its teachers. The performance of teachers in Nigeria public primary schools have been called to questions. Of course, there are a number of factors that contribute to low performance of teachers. But then, training and development, job satisfaction and perceived organisational support have not received needed attention with regards to teachers job performance. On the basis of this, the study aims at exploring the relationships between training and development, job satisfaction, perceived organisational support and teachers job performance in Nigerian public primary schools with special preference to Zaria in Kaduna State Nigeria. Cross sectional research designs and simple random sampling technique were utilized. 407 copies of questionnaire were administered to teachers in public primary schools in Zaria but only 388 were returned. Data collected were analysed using Partial Least Square –Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The findings of the study revealed that training and development, job satisfaction and perceived organisational support have positive relationships with teachers job performance. It was concluded by the study that training and development, job satisfaction, perceived organisational support contribute majorly to teachers job performance and recommendations were also provided.
