performance in the public secondary schools in North Central Nigeria. Two research

level of significance. The study employed descriptive survey design. The population was
44,342 teachers from 1,656 public secondary schools. The sample size was 381
respondents. The study employed multistage sampling procedure. The instrument used
for data collection was a self-structured questionnaire titled “Training and work
environment as determinants of teachers’ job performance questionnaire
(TWEDTJPQ)” with reliability co-efficient of 0.95. The instrument was validated by
five experts. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to answer the research questions.
While the null hypotheses were tested using chi-square test of goodness of fit at 0.05
level of significance. The study revealed that training and work environment are
determinants of teachers’ job performance in the public secondary schools. Based on the
findings of the study, it was recommended among others that government should make
