Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between working conditions and teachers productivity in public secondary schools in Calabar metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria.

The selection was done using stratified random sampling technique and simple random sampling technique in order to give equal opportunity to all the members of the population to be selected. Working Conditions and Teachers' Productivity Questionnaire (WCTPQ) was the instrument used for the data collection. The instrument was subjected for validation. The reliability estimate of the instrument was established through trial test and the reliability co-efficient obtained using Crobach Alpha method. Pearson product moment correlation analysis was used for data analysis. The hypothesis was tested at .05 level of significance with relative degrees of freedom. The result revealed that there is a significant relationship between working conditions and teachers productivity. Based on this finding, it was recommended that government and schools management should provide and implement conducive working conditions to the teacher to enhance their productivity.
