JOB CHARACTERISTICS AND INTRINSIC MOTIVATION OF EMPLOYEES IN HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

Intrinsic motivation is the initiation and direction of certain employee behaviour through intangible and non-financial rewards. In health organizations, intrinsic motivation stands out as a key factor in achieving efficiency, which is why human resource managers strive to stimulate employees to provide high quality health care by applying intrinsic rewards. Job design can be used as one of the ways to improve the level of intrinsic motivation, by involving the integration of motivational, social and contextual factors of job design. The aim of this paper is to determine the impact that the business design of health organizations has on the intrinsic motivation of health workers. The results of the research showed that there is a high correlation between motivational, social and contextual factors of job design to intrinsic motivation of employees.
