Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project aims to investigate the role of principals in providing incentives for secondary school improvement. The study will explore the various types of incentives that principals can offer to motivate teachers, students, and other stakeholders in the school community. By examining how these incentives can impact school performance and overall improvement, the research seeks to provide insights into effective strategies for enhancing secondary school outcomes. The research will involve a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and document analysis. Surveys will be distributed to teachers, students, and parents to gather their perceptions on the current incentive system and its effectiveness. Interviews will be conducted with principals and other school administrators to understand their perspectives on providing incentives for school improvement. Additionally, documents such as school policies and performance reports will be analyzed to provide context and background information. The study will focus on both extrinsic and intrinsic incentives that principals can utilize to promote secondary school improvement. Extrinsic incentives may include financial rewards, recognition programs, and performance bonuses, while intrinsic incentives could involve fostering a positive school culture, providing professional development opportunities, and promoting a sense of ownership and pride in the school's success. By exploring the impact of these incentives on teacher motivation, student engagement, and overall school performance, the research aims to provide practical recommendations for principals and school leaders. The findings of the study can inform decision-making processes and help schools develop effective incentive programs tailored to their specific needs and contexts. Overall, this research project seeks to contribute to the existing literature on school leadership and improvement strategies by highlighting the crucial role of principals in providing incentives for secondary school success. By understanding the mechanisms through which incentives can drive positive change and enhance school performance, this study aims to empower school leaders to create a supportive and motivating environment that fosters continuous improvement and success in secondary education.
