The study was guided by three specific objectives: (i) to assess the heads of schools’ perspectives on the responsibility allowance in the management of public secondary schools in Tanzania; (ii) to examine the effects of heads of schools’ responsibility allowance in the management of public secondary schools in Tanzania ;(iii) to explore the teachers’ perspectives on heads of schools’ responsibility allowance in the management of public secondary schools in Tanzania. A qualitative approach was used to collect information from respondents where interview, Focus Group Discussion (FGDs) and documentary review were administered to respondents to collect qualitative data from district education officers, heads of schools’ ward education officer and teaching staff.

The positive effects of the RA included the increase of the accountability and improved working condition for heads of schools to comfortably execute their school managerial duties with morale and alike. On the other hand the. Negative effects include the decrease of trustworthiness, unfair treatment between employees thus, the rewarding system must be reformed to a fairness which will not just benefit the school management only but rather other teachers as well. It is concluded that, heads of schools’ responsibility allowance can bring about positive effects in public secondary schools when heads of schools use them accordingly as intended, otherwise it will create adversity between heads of schools and the teaching staff.
