Unfortunately, in the honing process, varied life mishaps impinge on teachers’ delivery, destabilising workflow intermittently and as a result, individual wellbeing is affected and consequently, delivery to the learners. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of nondirective workplace counselling techniques on teachers’ performance in public secondary schools in Bungoma
South Sub-county. This study was anchored on the Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT) and Reality Theory. The study employed descriptive survey and correlation design methods. The target population comprised of 720 teachers (390 male and 330 female) distributed in 60 public secondary schools and two (2) Ministry of Education and Teachers’ Service Commission Human Resource Officers. Thirty percent (30%) was used to obtain 18 schools randomly sampled from a total of 60 public Secondary schools. A total of 257 teachers were randomly sampled from the 18 sampled schools included 18 Guidance and Counseling teachers. Simple random sampling was used to obtain respondents while purposive sampling was used to get two (2) officials from the
Ministry of Education. Questionnaire and Interview schedules were used as the data collection instruments. Data analysis and interpretation was based on descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics using SPSS version 22. Results illustrated that there was positive statistical significant influence of non-directive counseling on the teachers’ performance in Bungoma South Sub-County. Nevertheless, the study concluded that when levels/degrees of non-directive counseling were enhanced in schools, then this would translate to better teachers’ performance. Based on these results, therefore, it is recommended that the Government should
provide the necessary resources and policy structure on the implementation of the guidance and counseling programme in schools. A guidance and counseling program must be included in the school schedule and school budget.

The study would also aid in policy making and formulating of intervention
measures aimed at improving counselling services, and guidance and counseling teachers’ support programmes, with a view to improving teachers’ performance in public secondary schools.

This study investigates the impact of compensation on employee performance in commercial banks in Kigali City, Rwanda. The banking sector plays a crucial role in Rwanda's economy, but there are concerns about employee motivation and high turnover intentions. The study aims to examine the relationship between various compensation components (monetary incentives, health insurance benefits, transportation benefits, and professional development opportunities) and employee performance. The research employs a descriptive research design with both descriptive and explanatory components, using a quantitative approach. A sample of 180 employees from 10 commercial banks in Kigali City was selected using stratified random sampling. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reveal that monetary incentives and health insurance benefits have the strongest positive correlations with employee performance, while professional development opportunities are rated poorly and have the weakest impact. Overall compensation significantly influences employee performance, with the multiple regression model explaining 69.4% of the variance. The results align with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, emphasizing the importance of addressing both basic and growth needs. The study the understanding of compensation's impact on employee performance in the Rwandan banking sector and provide valuable insights for banks and policy makers to enhance motivation and retention strategies.
