Abstract

OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Occupational therapy that focuses on servicing clients demands motivated workers for quality service delivery. The objectives of this study were: (a) to determine the level of work motivation among occupational therapy graduates in Malaysia and (b) to determine if there is a difference in work motivation among these graduates based on work sector, job position, length of work experience, and gender.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study recruited occupational therapy bachelor's degree graduates using an online survey. The Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) was used to measure level of work motivation.

RESULTS

Responses from 82 (60.3%) graduates (male: 26.8%; female: 73.2%) were analysed. Sixty-two (75.6%) graduates worked locally and 20 (24.4%) worked in foreign countries. The average Work Self-Determination Index (W-SDI) score for WEIMS is +11.38 with 78 (95.1%) of graduates demonstrated a self-determined motivational profile and 4 (4.9%) demonstrated a nonself-determined profile. Graduates in the private sector (13.10 ± 6.47) show significantly higher W-SDI score compared to those in the public sector (9.40 ± 6.06), = 0.01. W-SDI scores appeared higher among clinician (11.67 ± 6.40), case manager (13.33), and others (14.90 ± 8.23); and those with work experience of 5-6 years (13.11 ± 6.90) and less than one year (12.65 ± 7.12). Male (10.29 ± 6.86) and female (11.79 ± 6.39) graduates shared equally high score. There is no significant difference in W-SDI score based on job position, length of work experience, and gender.

CONCLUSION

Occupational therapy graduates have high work motivation as evident by their self-determined profile. Only work sector imposes difference in work motivation among these graduates.

摘要

目的/背景：专注于为客户提供服务的职业治疗需要有积极性的员工来确保高质量的服务交付。本研究的目的是：（a）确定马来西亚职业治疗专业毕业生的工作积极性水平；（b）根据工作部门、职位、工作经验长度和性别，确定这些毕业生在工作积极性方面是否存在差异。

方法

本横断面研究通过在线调查招募职业治疗专业本科学位毕业生。使用工作外在和内在动机量表（WEIMS）来测量工作积极性水平。

结果

分析了82名（60.3%）毕业生的回复（男性：26.8%；女性：73.2%）。62名（75.6%）毕业生在本地工作，20名（24.4%）在国外工作。WEIMS的工作自我决定指数（W-SDI）平均得分为+11.38，78名（95.1%）毕业生表现出自我决定的动机特征，4名（4.9%）表现出非自我决定的特征。私营部门的毕业生（13.10±6.47）的W-SDI得分显著高于公共部门的毕业生（9.40±6.06），P = 0.01。临床医生（11.67±6.40）、病例经理（13.33）和其他人员（14.90±8.23）的W-SDI得分似乎更高；工作经验为5至6年（13.11±6.90）和少于1年（12.65±7.12）的人员也是如此。男性（10.29±6.86）和女性（11.79±6.39）毕业生的得分同样较高。基于职位、工作经验长度和性别的W-SDI得分没有显著差异。
