Abstract:
This study investigated the effect of supervision on staff performance in the Obuasi
Municipal Education Directorate. The study was a descriptive research survey design
with a random purposive sampling size of 130 respondents. Questionnaires were used
to collect data and frequency units and percentages were used to analyse the data. The
study revealed that, quality supervision whether internal or external enhanced teacher
performance while poor supervision undermined teaching and learning. Supervision
was considered an important tool for staff performance. Also, internal supervision
was considered more effective by many internal supervisors, while external
supervisors preferred both. Lastly, teacher satisfaction was perceived to be critical to
staff performance notwithstanding effective supervision. However, it came to the fore
that supervisors have challenges such as late payment of their allowances and
negative attitudes put up by some teachers. It was recommended that in-service
training (INSET) should be organized for teachers and head teachers to highlight the
essence of supervision.
