Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation
on basic school administrators in Asokore Mampong. It also attempted to find out the
effects and consequences of no motivation on basic school administrators problems
encountered by students in offering accounting. The target population for the study
was all headteachers in the Municipality with a total of 51. The sample size for the study
was 44 students which were selected using the simple random sampling technique,
specifically the lottery method. The instrument used for data collection was
questionnaire. Frequencies and percentages were used in analyzing the results. The
results were presented using frequency tables. It was found from the study that school
administrators are influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors in performing their
administrative and academic and duties. The intrinsic factors such as success, pleasure,
participation in decision making motivate headteachers in performing their duties in the
various school environments. The extrinsic factors that influence school administrators
include good salary, regular in-service-training and regular promotion. The study
indicated that intrinsic motivation has greater influence on school administration in
performing their duties. It is recommended that the school management can apply
several activities of "teacher empowerment", one of which is to provide time slots for
teachers to exchange information and collaborate with other colleagues, including
representatives of school management. The government should commission a study
into the financial rewards system in the education service in relation to the contribution
of headteachers towards their work, and also find out if it meets their expectation and
improvement, upgrading of headteachers' involvement in important managerial
processes, socialization, establishment of rules and policies as well as providing
avenues for such upgrading
