Abstract
Motivational techniques are effective in improving quality of education. The substantive purpose
of the study was to identify the effect of motivational techniques used by elementary school head
teachers on the performance of teachers in district Sheikhupura. A survey was conducted through
cluster random sampling technique to collect data from 600 elementary school teachers working in
District Sheikhpura. A questionnaire with nine main constructs was used to elicit teachers'
responses about effectiveness of their head teachers’ motivational techniques. Data were analyzed
through appropriate statistical techniques. One-way Analysis of Variance (One-way ANOVA) was
applied to identify mean difference in teachers' performance due to motivational techniques used
by their heads on the basis of their age groups. Findings of the study revealed that there was a
significant difference in teachers' performance on the basis of their age groups on motivational
techniques used by their heads such as feedback, recognition, performance appraisal, working
condition and delegation of powers. On the basis of findings it is recommended that the
government would conduct regular training for the head teachers on motivational techniques
through the ministry of education to equip them with skills and knowledge needed in their
managerial role. The teachers would be motivated to work to enhance their performance.
