Title : Nurses’
Motivation: an emphasis on Managers’ role
Author
Name : Shahina Pirani
Synopsis :
Motivation is the willingness or
desire to work well and perform effectively on the job. There are two types of
motivation; intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the
internal desire to accomplish the task in a productive way and it deals with
personal value or strong work ethics which give them passion to do the best. On
the other hand, extrinsic motivation refers to the motivation which comes from
outside an individual which include promotions, appreciation, bonuses and days
off. There are various factors which cause lack of motivation among nurses.
Some of them include; manager’s management style, strict policy, lack of
appreciation, workload, salary, promotion and so on. Frederick Herzberg was
behavioral scientist who proposed a motivation-hygiene theory. This theory has
been applied in this paper to emphasis the role of managers to enhance nurses’
motivation specifically in terms of nurses’ recognition and their growth and
development. It requires nurses to be ambitious, responsible, to be proud of
being a nurse and the employing institution need to take initiative to bring
change and demonstrate individual abilities.
