However, despite the guidelines, teachers sometimes find themselves overstretched and overwhelmed, hence missing out on critical targets. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the work performance tendencies of teachers in public primary schools within Khwisero Sub-County in Kenya. The study was grounded on TheoryX TheoryY which segregates workers into intrinsically motivated on one side and extrinsically motivated on the other. A sample of 18 head teachers, 144 class teachers and 144 pupils was adopted. The questionnaire and interview guide were used in data collection. Quantitative and qualitative procedures were adopted in the analysis. Results were interpreted and converged to provide a solution to the research problem. It was established that teachers used regular class attendance, the record of workbooks and lesson plans to demonstrate work performance. Based on the study findings, it was recommended that the Ministry of Education should constantly include all teachers in refresher courses, seminars, and workshops to update them on the latest technological and professional practices instead of targeting headteachers alone. Although there is a laudable effort towards this through the teacher professional development program, the cost attached is beyond affordability by most of teachers. There was also a need for the school boards to support sound motivation initiatives by teachers to encourage and enhance pupils’ academic performance.
