ABSTRACT: This studyassessed the influence of information communication technology (ICT) use on job performance of teachers at a private International School in Kampala, Uganda. Specifically, the study assessed the influence of ICT enabled school administration, electronic information resources access and ICT enabled collaborative teaching and learning on job performance of teachers. Using the correlational research design, data were collected from teachers using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive results showed that performance of teachers was good and use of ICT enabled school administration, electronic information resources access, collaborative teaching and learning was high. Regression analysis revealed that while electronic information resources access had a positive and significant influence on job performance of teachers, ICT enabled school administration and ICT enabled collaborative teaching and learning had a positive but insignificant influence on performance of teachers. It was concluded that electronic information resources access is very essential for job performance of teachers but ICT enabled school administration and ICT enabled collaborative teaching are not critical for job performance of teachers. It was thus recommended that stakeholders in the education sector including the Ministry of Education, Directors of schools and headteachers should promote teachers’access to electronic information resources access giving less emphasis to ICT enabled school administration and ICT enabled collaborative teaching.
