Abstract

This study assessed the effect of remuneration and employee job satisfaction behaviour on teacher performance at Old Tafo municipal. It examined, assessed and evaluated the impact of remuneration on teacher performance and how remuneration affect teachers job satisfaction, their job satisfaction behavior on teacher performance. A quantitative research approach and the positivist philosophy of conducting research were used in the study. Using the purposive sampling technique, the researcher selected a sample of 297 teachers from a population of 1242 school teachers within the Old Tafo Municipal. Structured questionnaire was employed as the main data collection instrument for the study. Data collected were analysed with the use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 and Analysis of a Moment Structure (AMOS) version 23. The findings showed that remuneration had a direct impact on teacher performance. The study also discovered that remuneration had a significant but negative impact on teachers' job satisfaction. Furthermore, it was shown that the teacher behavior related to job satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. The findings also revealed a significant connection between remuneration and employee job satisfaction behaviour on performance of teachers. It was recommended that a thorough approach to ensuring the satisfaction of the teachers was necessary when we consider the findings of this study. Instead of just improving on salary, a holistic strategy that promotes a symbiotic relationship between competitive pay, chances for professional growth, collaborative engagement, and a supportive workplace culture could transform schools This carefully orchestrated symphony of interventions could have power to usher in a new era of academic excellence
