Sample size of 1056 teacher respondents were used ; adopting multistage random sampling techniques for the selection. Gender as moderator variable was also adopted for the study. Questionnaire instruments of 65 Items, titled” Teacher Questionnaire” (T Q); was used for the study as adopted and validated by educational experts. Trial testing of the instruments was determined in Enugu State; to obtain the reliability indices of 0.746 and 0.766, which were reliable, based on Frankell and Wallen (2016),approval reliability index of 0.700. Cronbach Alpha procedure was used to measure the internal consistency of the instruments. Data were collected by the researcher within the three selected sample zones. As the study operates at interval level of measurement, Pearson Products Moment Correlation Coefficient was used, to answer the research questions. The hypotheses were tested at 0.05 levels of significance. Results from the findings among others revealed; a significant low positive relationships, between the teachers’ perceptions scores of the principals’ management strategies and their job performance, in the application of motivational strategy, as ascertained by both teacher gender respondents.
