[PATIGI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF KWARA STATE]

The finding on the hypothesis (Ho2) which was rejected, thus, there is significant relationship between communication strategy and teachers’ job performance in secondary schools in Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State. This finding confirmed the finding that corroborates that of Akinnubi, Gbadeyan, Fashiku and Kayode (2012) asserted that in any formal or informal organization, effective communication remains a veritable tool which aids the actualization of organizational goals. In other word, communication could also be defined as the flowing of information between the sender and the receiver which could involve two or more people. Ijaiya (2000) elucidated that communication is needed in school for the manager to: explain government policies e.g. curriculum matters, student welfare issues, circulars from the Ministry of Education and Teaching Service Commission; pass information on school fees and levies; give notice of meetings and other important school events, for example, sports; give  observation, discipline, school plant maintenance, supervisory reports; pass information on staff promotion; give committee reports; and announce personal matters such as when a staff puts to bed or is bereaved. The principal could pass information to members of the school staff via several methods.
    The finding on the hypothesis (Ho3) which was rejected, thus, there is significant relationship between motivation strategy and teachers’ job performance in secondary schools in Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State. The finding of the study is similar to that of Akinola (2004) who opined that motivation of teacher is common in public schools than in private schools. Flippo (1980) perceived motivation as the process of arousing enthusiasms in an employee in order to perform his duties with high spirit. The workers’ morale could be low when they are not sufficiently motivated, therefore they become dissatisfied workers. Therauf (1987) defined motivation as the inner drives that activate or move an individual into action. It is that thing that makes one to behave the way one does at a particular time. In the same vein, Durosaro (2000) defined motivation as the drive or intrinsic force within the human organization that wants him to contribute action towards the achievement of an organizational goal.
    The finding on the hypothesis (Ho4) which was rejected, thus, there is significant relationship between safety strategy and teachers’ job performance in secondary schools in Patigi Local Government Area, Kwara State. The finding of the study is similar to that of Stone (2002) opined that safety strategy as one of the principals’ human relations strategies will influence the performance of teachers because if the safety of the teachers is guaranteed, it will enhance school effectiveness.
