    This study investigated Principal’s motivation indices, school environment and conditions of services as determinants of teacher’s work effectiveness in public secondary schools in Ekiti state, Nigeria of which literature show paucity of studies on the subject. The gap filled was the dearth of study on joint influence of motivation indices, school environment and conditions of services on teacher’s work effectiveness. Social cognitive, expectancy-value and self-determination theories used to guide the study. Four research questions and two hypotheses were formulated. Descriptive survey research adopted. Study population was all principals (219) and teachers (8,167). Sample size comprised principals (219) and teachers (3,266). Two self-constructed questionnaires-principals’ motivation indices, school Environment and conditions of service Questionnaire (PMISECSQ) (α = 0.878) and Teachers’ Work Effectiveness Questionnaire (TWEQ) (α =0.842) were used. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that leadership efficacy, teacher satisfaction and empowerment, professional growth, with recognition and appreciation were the motivation indices mostly adopted by principals (?ത = 4.095). Results showed that principals mostly (?ത 4.249) create enabling environment for teacher’s work effectiveness. Results showed that the conditions of teachers’ service mostly affected their job effectiveness (?ത = 4.336). Results revealed that the level of teachers work effectiveness is high (?ത = 5.123). Results showed significant joint contribution of principal’s motivation indices, school environment, conditions of services on teachers’ work effectiveness in public secondary schools in Ekiti-State (?3.215 =1001.15, P ˂ 0.05). However, school environment (Beta = -.087; t = - 1.789) and conditions of service (Beta = -.352; t = -7.585) had significant negative relationship with teachers work effectiveness while principals’ motivation indices (Beta = 1.357; t = 25.082) had significant positive relationship.
