Descriptive research design of survey type was adopted. The stratified random sampling technique was used. 10 public and 10 private secondary schools were selected through purposive and stratified sampling technique. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Data were collected through the use of a validated "Teacher Attrition Descriptive Questionnaire" (TADQ) with a reliability of r = 0.92, and a proforma of students' academic performance. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed that there was high extent of teacher attrition in public and private secondary schools in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State. Also, it was found that the level of students' academic performance was moderate in both types of school. Again, findings revealed that there was a negative significant relationship between teacher attrition and students' academic performance in public and private secondary schools in Ondo West Local Government and there was no significant difference in the extent of teacher attrition between public and private secondary schools in study area. Based on the findings, the recommendation were: Better services and good welfare packages should be made available for teachers so as to reduce teacher attrition rate and paying attention to teachers by giving them equal regards like other professions would increase their retention.

It is observed that teachers are not performing their duties as expected and this could be as a result of perceived poor work environment hindering effective performance of teachers' duties. Therefore, this study examined work environment and teachers' job performance in public primary schools in Ondo State, Nigeria. The descriptive research design of the survey type was employed. The sample consisted of 120 teachers and 20 head teachers randomly selected from 20 public primary schools in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State. Two researcher-made questionnaires entitled "Work Environment Questionnaire (WEQ)" and "Teachers' Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ)" were used to elicit response from the respondents. The test re-test method was used to test the reliability of WEQ and TJPQ which yielded coefficients of 0.89 and 0.77 respectively. Four research questions were raised and answered using frequency counts, percentage, and mean, while three hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The findings revealed that school location was moderately conducive for teachers' work; the level of interpersonal relationship among teachers was high and the provision of physical facilities was moderate. The findings also revealed that there was significant relationship between school location and teachers' job performance (r = 0.310, p = 0.001); and there was significant relationship between provision of physical facilities and teachers' job performance (r = 0.578, p = 0.000). The study therefore concluded that work environment enhanced job performance of the teachers. Based on the findings and conclusion, it was recommended that physical facilities such as conducive office space, potable water and constant electricity should be provided to aid teachers' job performance.

This attitude to work could be enhanced by the predominant communication styles of the principal in terms of aggressive, open and inclusive communication styles hence, this study examined the relationship between principals' communication styles and teachers' attitude to work in public secondary schools in Iwo Local Government Area of Osun State. Descriptive research design of survey type was adopted for this study. The population of this study comprised all principals and teachers in public secondary schools in Iwo Local Government Area, Osun State. The sample of the study was 88 respondents comprising 80 teachers and eight principals. The study adopted simple random sampling technique. The research instruments used for this study were two self-developed questionnaires tagged "Principals' Communication Styles Questionnaire (PCSQ)" and Teachers Attitude to Work (TAWQ). The instruments were validated by specialists in Tests and Measurement. The test retest method was employed to establish the reliability of the instrument and coefficients obtained were 0.76 and 0.79 for PSCQ and TAWQ respectively. Two research questions were raised and answered using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation, while three hypotheses were formulated and tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) at 0.05 level of significance. Findings showed that the level of usage of aggressive communication by principals was low and the predominant communication style adopted by principals in the study area was open communication style. It was further revealed that there was significant relationship between principals' inclusive communication style and teachers' attitude to work and there was significant relationship between principals' open communication style and teachers' attitude to work. It was recommended among others that Open and inclusive communication style should be adopted by principals because it will bring better relationship between the principal and the teacher, and also improve teachers' attitude to work.
