The study employed a descriptive survey design. The choice of survey design is the most appropriate for measuring the attitude and behavior of a large number of people. The survey ask limited questions of a larger number of people since it is seldom possible to question everyone concerned with a certain social problem, a sample is, therefore, used.  The population of the study will be made up of 3145 senior secondary teachers in selected schools in Cross River State, Nigeria as obtained in the Niger State Ministry of Education, Department of Planning Research and Statistics (2020). The study adopted stratified and purposive sampling to select the required respondents to participate in the study. The sample consisted of 319 secondary school teachers. Data for this study was obtained using a researcher’s developed instrument entitled Motivation Management Practice and Teachers Performance satisfaction Opinion Questionnaire (MMPTJOQ). Developed on a 4 point modified Likert type scale.  The finding revealed that remuneration significantly relates to teacher's performance satisfaction. It was also found that teachers’ placement has a significant influence on their performance satisfaction.
