ABSTRACT: Using the Behavioral Engineering Model (BEM), this study investigates
possible causes and solutions to teachers’ performance at Kenya’s Narok Integrated
Program for Visually Impaired (NIPVI). The model has been used in organizations
to identify challenges to improve workers’ performance. In this context, the
instrument replicates its use to discover challenges and solutions to teachers’
performance at the NIPVI. The study used a quantitative content analysis
design. A secondary data collected in 2011 was coded using categories and
subcategories from the BEM. Statistical tests were utilized to analyze the content.
The outcomes revealed possible performance causes displaying specific factors
influencing the challenges and measures the institution can attend to improve
the performance.
