Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that may motivate the nurses in Trinidad and Tobago following an earlier study that the satisfaction levels of the nurses in Trinidad and Tobago is low. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional design was undertaken. It attempted to document the responses from nurses who gave their consent at a particular point in time. The population was from four selected major hospitals in the Island nation using an adapted instrument from Society of Human Resource Management Foundation (SHRM), Employee Engagement Survey Template Software (2014). Result: Results showed that nurses in Trinidad and Tobago were from of varied ethnicity, mostly females, have different employment statuses. They also showed that the nurses’ motivation/ satisfaction are not related to their gender, and age. Results found that aspects of ethnicity, institution of employment, level of education and employment statuses among others, are significantly related to some of the motivation factors for the nurses in Trinidad and Tobago. Discussion: These results were discussed based on their relatedness with literature. Conclusion: This study has documented some of the motivational factors for the nurses in this Island state. It is hoped that this will provide the impetus for the policy makers to begin to address this perennial problem that arguably contributes to dissatisfaction, attrition and acute shortages of this important health personnel in the Twin Island state of the Caribbean.
