| Abstract | Work place motivation is an important factor that inspires workers in any organization to pursue their goals and perform their duties effectively. However, lack of motivation among public secondary school teachers in Kinangop Sub-County has negatively affected quality of teaching and learning thus leading to poor performance in national examinations. The objective of the study was to establish the influence of appreciation of teachers on students’ performance in KCSE in public secondary schools in Kinangop Sub County. The target population comprised 28 headteachers and 310 teachers totaling to 338. Slovin’s formula was used to select a sample of 184 participants. Stratified random sampling was employed to create 8 zones based on the 8 administrative wards within the sub-County. Using simple random sampling, 16 headteachers and 168 teachers were sampled for the study. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect data in this study. Qualitative data analysis was done thematically in narrative forms, while quantitative data was analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages, means and standard deviation. The study established that teachers’ appreciation through rewards and incentives for good performance enhances work commitment, increases engagement with students consequently leading to improved academic performance.
