Background: Increasing staff motivation is one of the management priorities in any field of activity. Nurses have a direct impact on the quality and safety of care. However, they become vulnerable to stress and reduced motivation, which is a risk of poor performance and termination of work. Despite the fact that motivation has been widely studied among nurses in Western countries, unfortunately, a limited number of studies on this topic have been conducted in Kazakhstan.
Aim: The purpose of the study is to reveal the factors affecting the nurses’ work motivation of Aktobe Association of secondary medical workers. The objectives were to examine the factors of motivation of nurses on the basis of international experience and to determine the main factors of the nurses’ work motivation of Aktobe Association of secondary medical workers.
Methods: A quantitative research was conducted using Webropol online survey. The R-MAWS tool was used for data collection. The sample consisted of 323 nurses. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25, using descriptive statistics.
Results: The nurses were highly internally motivated (Mean=2.43; SD=0.84). In addition, they showed significant Introjected Regulation (Mean=2.35; SD=0.89) and Identified Regulation (Mean=2.41; SD=0.85). Also, they had moderate External Regulation (on Social: Mean=1.92; SD=0.91 and on Material: Mean=1.68; SD=0.88), and weak Amotivation (Mean=1.37; SD=0.70).Young nurses with less than 10 years of experience were less internally motivated than their older colleagues with more experience (P≤0.05). In general, the results showed that the younger generation of nurses were less externally and internally motivated than the older generation of nurses (p≤0.10).
Conclusion: The main factors affecting nurses’ work motivation were the external and internal factors. It is necessary to increase the motivation of young workers in order to reduce the outflow of medical personnel from the health care sector.
