abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the interrelationships between morale and job performance of secondary school teachers. This is a questionnaire survey involving secondary school teachers from four schools in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. A total number of 92 respondents were involved in this study. The findings showed that all the five factors: leadership, belongingness, environment, personal development and collegiality contributed significantly to teachersâ morale. The working environment was rated as the most important factor among the five. The structural equation modelling indicates that the 'environment', 'personal development' and 'collegiality' factors affect the feeling of 'personal reward' of the teachers while 'leadership', 'belongingness', 'environment' and 'personal development' influenced their 'cohesive pride'. It was also found that only the 'leadership' factor had a direct impact on âjob performanceâ. The other morale determinants affect the 'job performance' of the teachers indirectly either by affecting 'personal reward' or 'cohesive pride'. (Authors' abstract)
