The poor job performance of teachers in secondary schools in the country has become a matter of serious concern to education stakeholders. The study therefore established the relationship between institutional support services and secondary school teachers' job performance in Ogun East senatorial district. The population of the study comprised all the 3095 teachers in Ogun East Senatorial District. The sample of the study was 540 secondary school teachers. Multistage random sampling technique was used in selecting the sample. Two researcher's developed instruments were used in gathering the data and the instruments are tagged “Institutional Support Services Questionnaire (ISSQ) and Teachers' Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ)” while the reliability coefficient were a = .72 and a =.77 respectively. The data collected were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and the hypotheses were tested at .05 level of significance. The result of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between ICT services and secondary school teachers' job performance, that there was a significant relationship between in-service training and secondary school teachers' job performance, that there was a significant relationship between welfare services and secondary school teachers' task performance and that there was a significant relationship between library services and secondary school teachers' job performance. The study therefore concluded that institutional support services such as ICT service, In-service training, welfare service and library service had significant relationship with secondary school teachers' job performance in Ogun East senatorial district. It is therefore recommended that educational institutions should invest in comprehensive ICT infrastructure and provide regular ICT training for teachers. Access to modern technological tools and digital resources will help teachers improve their lesson delivery, engage students more effectively, and manage classrooms more efficiently
