The researcher used both primary and secondary sources in gathering data. The data used in compiling this work have been gathered from the staff and management of Ghana Senior High School, through the administration of questionnaires and personal interviews.

Findings of the study revealed job enrichment and merit pay as requirements for increasing the motivation of teachers of Ghana Senior High School-Koforidua.
