Motivation, job satisfaction and work performance among health workers at Mild May Uganda

Abstract

Motivation is defined as internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job role or subject or to make an effort to attain a goal. This comes from the interaction of both conscious and unconscious factors such as intensity of the desire, incentive and reward. Job satisfaction refers to the extent to which a person is happy with his or her job hence an employee’s willingness to perform at optimum level (Miller, 2013).
