Working Conditions and Performance of Employees in an Organizational Environment: A Study Applied to Teachers in Public Secondary Schools in the City of Maroua in Cameroon

Abstract

Improving performance is undoubtedly the leitmotif of managers. From slavery, to scientific and technical progress, the tools and techniques of work have not ceased to be improved for this purpose. However, we realized that we had to give value to human resources. We then attend the birth of a new field: Human Resources Management. Among its objectives, we count the improvement of the working conditions of employees for better performance. Based on the low performance of teachers in public secondary schools, we conducted a case study on teachers in public secondary schools in the city of Maroua by comparing their working conditions and their performance. We wondered about the impact of their working conditions on their performance. It turned out that these working conditions have a significant influence on their performance, because all our hypotheses were confirmed. We have come to the conclusion that working conditions are a lever for improving teacher performance.
