Full textThe South African National Department of Health (NDoH) has committed itself to ensure that there is equity in the distribution of health workers especially to rural areas primarily through service requirements and incentives. Despite all initiatives put in place, the national health system struggles to recruit and retain health workers in rural health system struggles to recruit and retain health workers in rural health facilities. While the majority of health workers choose to practise in urban areas, some choose to pursue and persist in a career in rural health practice. This study determines, in the South African context, factors that motivate health workers to choose and maintain a career in rural health practice. It establishes what makes health workers choose to work in rural areas, what encourages them to stay in rural health practice and what tempts them to leave rural health practice. These factors interact at different levels, at the level of an individual health worker, of a rural health organisation or level of a rural community, to influence the decision of a health worker to choose, stay in or leave rural health pratice. The study combines both quantitative and qualitative methods in a cross-sectional survey to identify these factors from the perspective of rural health workers. It invites rural health workers to identify those factors that are applicable to them from the list of factors and rank them according to the degree of importance in their decision-making. A self-administered structured questionnaire and key informant interviews were used to collect data. The findings of this study show that rural background, desire to gain work experience, family obligations, prior interest in underserved area practice, desire or requirement to perform community service, desire to live in a rural area, family friendly enviornment and having friends living in a rural area are very important factors motivating health workers to choose a career in rural health practice.

Full textWhile studying management we realised that most of the already existing theories discuss motivation to work from a general perspective. Therefore we found it interesting to investigate motivation on a deeper level.
"Motivation to work - differences between managers and workers"
The research questions for our thesis are, is there a difference in motivation between managers and workers? If so, what is the difference between the two? The purpose is to examine if a manager and a worker have shared understandings and common factors of what motivates them, or if certain characteristics can be distinguished. For our research we have chosen to use three companies operating within the financial sector in Sweden. Moreover, the chosen companies are located nearby which gives us the opportunity to visit them and to accomplish face to face conversations.
We have interviewed two persons at each company, whereby one has the position of a manager and the other has the position of a worker. Moreover, the method of our interviews are qualitative, mostly due to the fact that we wanted create a comfortable feeling for the interviewee and to so that we could get deep insight of what motivates that person.
We have studied old famous theories regarding motivation to work, we have also found more recent research about the subject. Especially in journals and financial databases, to get as updated information as possible. The theoretical framework has been useful to us in two ways, to get a foundation so that we could accomplish interviews with thought worthy questions. The second reason was to be able to interpret and analyse the collected material.
To a certain point we mention the similarities in motivation to work between a worker and a manager, however our main focus in our thesis are the differences. We have analysed the perspective of how they feel about their work and their possibility towards advancement. All our interviewees have a great interest for their work and the financial line of business, moreover, the managers are satisfied with their positions and the workers are satisfied at the moment but would like to advance in the future.
The most important interview questions in our study are, is it important for you to get rewards for your performance? What factors are motivating to you? The outcomes of our answers differ between the managers and the workers. Furthermore, we have used Herzberg, Vroom and other theories presented in our study to be able to strengthen our argument. Indeed, the more resent articles have been helpful to us while interpreting the collected material.
We have found answers to our research questions, there are differences in motivation to work between managers and workers. Money is a great motivator for the workers, and working climate, recognition and free time are the essential factors for the managers. We have also reached the conclusion that people always strive for more. In our case the workers want more tangible rewards and material benefits and on the contrary the managers desire non material factors as family and free time.
