The study examined the relationship between non-financial rewards and teachers job commitment in the educational sector in Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey was conducted on public secondary school teachers to examine the relationship between non-financial rewards (promotion, study leave and sponsorship, provision of long service awards) and teachers’ job commitment. A sample of 750 full-time teachers was taken. Thirty schools were randomly selected across the three senatorial districts of Ogun State. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on socio-demographic characteristics and types of non-financial rewards available to public secondary school teachers in Ogun State. The response rate was 90.2%. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the relationship between non-financial and teachers job commitment. The result showed that non-financial rewards are a strong determinant of job commitment for the teachers in the state public secondary schools. It was therefore recommended that government and other relevant stakeholders in the educational sector are to reward teachers adequately by making use of non-financial rewards.
