Abstract
Teachers are those trained employees who are basically
concerned with teaching/learning process in schools. They have
a very close contact with their students during working hours
daily. Thus they have a great and dominant influence on their
students and school. Their positive outlook about their
profession is called teacher morale. This study is aimed to
investigate the morale as predictor of secondary school
teachers’ performance. The objectives of the study were: (1) To
investigate the level of Teachers’ Morale at Secondary level. (2)
To investigate the relationship between Teachers’ Morale and
Students’ Academic Achievement. This study consisted of one
major hypothesis and five sub hypothesis. For this study, sample
