Abstract: The study looked into how the supervisory function of school principals and zonal inspectors of education affected the work performance of teachers in Kaduna State's Jaba Local Government Area. The study's primary goal was to ascertain how the supervisory responsibilities of school principals and zonal inspectors of education affected the work performance of secondary school teachers in Kaduna State's Jaba Local Government Area. Two research questions, two corresponding objectives, and two null hypotheses served as the study's compass. The investigation was conducted using a descriptive survey design. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, 400 teachers were selected as respondents from a total population of 959 instructors from 15 public senior secondary schools in the Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State. A questionnaire about the impact of zonal inspectors of education and the supervisory role of school principals on teachers' job performance served as the data gathering tool. The t-test was used to evaluate the research hypotheses at the 0.05 level of significance, and the mean and standard deviation were utilized to answer the research questions for the data analysis. The study's conclusions showed that the supervisory role of school principals had a major impact on secondary school teachers' job performance in the Jaba Local Government Area of Kaduna State, and that the job performance of secondary school teachers in the same area was significantly impacted by the work of zonal inspectors of education. Based on the results, it was suggested that principals make great use of the time book to identify teachers who arrive late to class and depart early, and that zonal inspectors be courteous when making corrections during inspection in order to improve teachers' job performance.
