護理人員激勵與工作投入相關性之探討

The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between motivation and job involvement, and staff nurses motivation needs. The study used a cross-sectional method. Subjects were recruited by convenience sampling from medical centers and regional hospitals in Taipei. Inclusion criterion was staff nurses with more than six months working experience. Motivation Scale, Job Involvement Scale and Personality Scale were used for data collection. Six hundred and twenty four questionnaires were sent out with a valid response rate of 92.8%. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Scheffe’s posteriori comparison, Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression. Major findings of this study were as follows: (1)The mean of staff nurses’ motivation needs (4.01) was greater than the mean of staff nurses perception of motivation needs (3.06). (2)The top three needs of motivation factor were: interpersonal relations; leadership; achievement. (3)Unit working experience, accrediting degree of hosptal, and working unit had significant impacts on nurses’ motivation needs. (4)Management type of hospital and working unit had significant impacts on nurses’ perception of motivation needs. (5)Management type of hospital had significant impact on nurses’ job involvement. (6)Staff nurses’ perception of motivation needs could predict their job involvement (R^2=0.15, p＜0.001). Results showed that if motivation needs were satisfied, staff nurses would be more involved in their work. It is suggested that we can focus on motivation needs of interpersonal relations, leadership and achievement.
