Abstract:
ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect of supervision on performance of teachers in
senior high schools in the Dormaa municipality. The study was approached
quantitatively with correlational research design. The study specifically pursued
the following research objectives, to assess the factors influencing supervision
of teachers at Ghana Education Service in the Dormaa Municipality, to assess
the effect of supervision on performance of teachers at Ghana Education Service
in the Dormaa Municipality. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data
from the surveyed respondents. A valid questionnaire of 140 were retrieved
from a total sample of 155 teachers from four senior high schools in the Dormaa
municipality. The IBM statistical package for social science (SPSS) analytical
software version 26 was used to process the data and analysed the data using
mean scores and linear regression statistical tools. The study found that the
factors that influence supervision exercise had little effect on the supervision
process. Also, supervision was found to have significantly and positively effect
on employee performance at the selected school. The study further found that
the supervision exercise is bewailed by numerous challenges, such as untimely
information, lack of logistics, inadequate training of supervisors among others.
The study recommends implementation of supervision must be accompanied by
mechanisms or policies that create the opportunity to harness employees'
performance. Again, staff job satisfaction should be the top priority of
supervisors. When staff members feel secured, recognised and allowed to use
their skills and abilities better performance is assured. Also, needed resources
should be allocated to the supervisory process to facilitate the realisation of its
intended goals.
