This study investigated the extent to which these factors determine teacher productivity in public secondary schools. The study revealed among others the composite contribution of career advancement factor (β = 0.36; t=6.82; p < .05); and school relations factor (β = 0.13; t=2.59; p <.05). On the contrary, support services factor (β = 0.09; t=1.87; p > 05) was not significant in predicting teacher productivity. The factors such as career advancement and school relations factors revealed a positive impact on productiveness and effectiveness of teachers. A good work system should be created by which teachers will maintain high effectiveness level.
