Abstract
Abstract: This study investigated correlational teamwork among Secondary Schools in Musoma Municipality using case
study approach. A sample of 10 Secondary schools was randomly selected and 164 teachers, non-teaching staff and
school leaders participated in the study by filling the questionnaire. Validity was established through expert judgment
and reliability test yielded Cronbach’s alpha of .863 for teamwork, .885 for morale of work, .866 for leadership and .875
for communication. Descriptive Statistics, ANOVA and Pearson product moment correlational coefficient were
employed to analyse research questions. General mean score of school stakeholders in all aspects of teamwork was
between 2.50 and 3.49, meaning they agreed that there is tem work in their schools. Statistics yielded a significant
difference in perception of school leaders, teachers and non-teaching staff on teamwork, school leaders having
significantly higher mean scores than teachers. Results also revealed a positive and strong relationship between
teamwork and morale of work and leadership. Moderate and positive relationship was also found between teamwork and
communication. Following these findings, it is recommended that schools under investigation need to enhance good
leadership and strive to increase morale of work among school stakeholders in order to increase teamwork spirit.
