Abstract

Compensation system is a veritable tool in the hand of the administrators to enhance the performance of teacher in terms of work delivery. Often times, this key variable is not effectively managed by employers of labours, hence, this study discusses this concept. Descriptive survey research design, was used to gather information from the respondents.  There are twenty-eight public secondary schools and thirty-five registered private secondary schools in Abeokuta south. Stratified random sampling was used to select twenty (20) schools base on location and size from the population of sixty-three (63) schools, which were divided into groups of public and private school. Mean and standard deviation was used in descriptive statistics.The hypotheses were tested through inferential statistical analysis using linear regression and multiple regression analysis.The evaluation and tests for hypothetical statements employed a 95% standard error at a 0.05 level of significance. Fringe benefits increase job satisfaction by providing additional perks that make teachers feel valued and secure. Incentives, such as bonuses and recognition, foster motivation, encouraging teachers to put in extra effort and excel in their work. Thus, a comprehensive compensation system encourages effective work delivery among teachers, ensuring a high-quality educational experience for students.
