Looking at educational management in China through the lens of professional development and reward systems for teachers was the focus of this study. The purpose of the study was to get a better understanding of how financial incentives affect teacher motivation, organisational effectiveness, and student learning outcomes. The study focused on what extent to incentive schemes might help with school management and teachers' professional development. That was the main query the research set out to answer. A structured questionnaire was used in order to collect data for the quantitative investigation. The researcher received 682 out of 720 questionnaires, and after removing incomplete responses, they were able to pick 649 viable samples for the final analysis. The relationships between the variables were examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis, and descriptive statistics. Financial incentives had a positive effect on educational management because they increased teachers' commitment, job satisfaction, and engagement in professional development opportunities. The results also showed that well-designed incentive systems for instructors were more likely to participate in training programs to use innovative teaching strategies and actively support institutional goals. Financial incentives were shown to be essential for effective school administration with well-defined professional development pathways. In order to improve school quality and teacher performance over time, it emphasised the need for open, equal, and transparent performance-driven incentive systems. The results of the research might assist lawmakers to administrators, and educational leaders in developing incentive schemes that enhance teacher professional development and academic performance.
