The study conducted among teachers in public secondary schools in Minna revealed several key findings regarding factors influencing their motivation and job satisfaction. Firstly, teachers strongly agreed on ten factors that contribute to their motivation and job satisfaction, including favorable service conditions, access to sick leave, prompt payment of salaries, study leave with pay, and extra pay for extra-curricular activities with mean value ranging 3.67 to 4.55. Secondly, material resources were identified as crucial for job satisfaction, with teachers strongly agreeing on seven out of eight items related to resource availability, such as fully equipped offices, textbooks, notebooks, stationery, and overhead projectors mean value ranging from 3.37 – 4.36. Thirdly, financial resources were found to significantly impact job satisfaction, with six out of seven items related to financial factors influencing stability and satisfaction among teachers. Additionally, teacher job performance was highlighted as a significant determinant of job satisfaction, with aspects like subject mastery, lesson preparation, and adherence to rules playing crucial roles. Importantly, there were no significant differences observed between male and female teachers in their perceptions of motivation, material resources, financial resources, and job performance, indicating a uniform perception across genders regarding factors influencing job satisfaction. The researcher recommendations that the State government should reconsider the service condition and make it favourable, implement prompt payment of salaries as at when due, thereby reconsidering the policies and amending them to fit in with the required need of the teachers and more recent trend and demand of the nation.
