摘要：A correlational research design was used to examine the perceived levels of motivation and related variables ofagricultural science teachers of selected Senior Hi gh Schools in Central Region of Ghana. Their existing levels of motivation, job satisfaction, supervision, work conditions, recognition, promotion, involvement in goal setting and background characteristics as well as the relationships among these variables were determined. The results showed perceived average levels of moti vation, job satisfaction, supervision, recognition, promotion and involvement in goal settin g among the teachers. However, they perceived l ow level of w ork conditions. Positive and significant relationships were found between motivati on, and the following variables: work conditions (r = 0.451), recognition (r = 0.510), involvement in goal setting (r = 0.417). Other signi ficant relationships observed were between recognition and involvement in goal setting (r=0.340), recognition and work condition (r=0.362), and recognition and sup ervision(r=0.372). Regression anal ysis showed that the best predictors of motivati on of teachers were recognition and work conditions, both variables explaining approximatel y 32 % variations in motivati on of the teachers. It is therefore recommended that, to i mprove the motivation of Senior High School Agricultural Science teachers, there is the need to improve various aspects of work conditions of the teachers such as salary, health insurance coverage, accommodation and other faci lities. Teacher recognition b y bot h employers and supervisors need to be strengthened through giving teachers equal chance of winning t he "Best Teacher Award" and verbal appreciation to teachers from supervisors, parents and students.
