Abstract
A nation cannot grow beyond the quality of her teachers and the quality of teachers is a function of their motivation and self-efficacy. Teaching, in this dime, appears to be the professional body with the lowest form of remuneration.

Two research questions were raised to guide the study and four hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. A total of 206 business studies teachers were used in Ibadan North-East Local Government Area. There was no sampling.
