There were 110 teacher respondents from all secondary public schools in the district of Placer Surigao Del Norte therefore universal sampling technique was employed in distributing the survey questionnaires and quantitative research design was used by the researcher. Results show that organizational justice is highly practiced by the school heads/administrators. It was found out that the teacher respondents have high intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
