Motivation is the level of a person's willingness to put forth and maintain an effort in support of organizational goals. However, motivation towards task execution is affected by the organization and individual goals. For instance, low morale among the staff can damage the quality of service delivery. Hence, this study was intended to assess the working motivation status and factors associated with it among health professionals at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was employed. Stratified sampling techniques were used to extract sample from each job category proportionally. To make the distribution fair, all health workers were grouped according to their job title and selected by using the lottery method from each group. A standardized, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was checked, coded, and entered into EpiData 3.1 and exported for analysis into SPSS 25. Variable in the multivariable logistic regression model with a p value of < 0.05 at 95% CI were taken as significantly associated to motivation status. A total of 319 people were involved, with a 100% response rate. 20.4% of health professionals were motivated at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Job satisfaction (AOR 6.46, 95% CI 1.72, 24.35), the presence of adequate medical supplies (AOR 5.01, 95% CI 1.23, 25.37), work place security (AOR 6.78, 95% CI 1.498, 30.72), and the presence of training opportunities in health facilities (AOR 2.23, 95% CI 1.01, 4.96) were significant factors associated with motivation status. The proportion of motivated health professionals was very low compared to previous studies in Ethiopia. The presence of security at work, adequate medical equipment, drugs, and supplies, job satisfaction, and the presence of training opportunities were predominant motivational factors. The hospital administration needs to give priority and work to safeguard security, ensure adequate medical supplies, and offer training to improve their satisfaction and motivation.
动机是一个人愿意为支持组织目标而付出和维持努力的程度。然而，对任务执行的动机受到组织和个人目标的影响。例如，员工士气低落会影响服务质量。因此，本研究旨在评估 Debre Markos 综合专科医院卫生专业人员的工作动机状况及其相关因素。采用基于医院的横断面研究。采用分层抽样技术，按比例从每个职业类别中抽取样本。为了公平分配，根据工作职称将所有卫生工作者分组，并通过抽签法从每个组中选择。使用标准化的自我管理问卷收集数据。数据经过检查、编码后输入 EpiData 3.1，并导入 SPSS 25 进行分析。在多变量逻辑回归模型中，具有 95%置信区间的 p 值<0.05 的变量被认为与动机状态显著相关。共有 319 人参与，应答率为 100%。Debre Markos 综合专科医院有 20.4%的卫生专业人员有动力。工作满意度（AOR 6.46，95%CI 1.72，24.35）、有足够的医疗用品（AOR 5.01，95%CI 1.23，25.37）、工作场所安全（AOR 6.78，95%CI 1.498，30.72）和卫生设施培训机会（AOR 2.23，95%CI 1.01，4.96）是与动机状态显著相关的因素。与之前在埃塞俄比亚进行的研究相比，有动力的卫生专业人员比例非常低。工作场所安全、充足的医疗设备、药品和用品、工作满意度以及培训机会的存在是主要的激励因素。医院管理部门需要优先考虑并努力保障安全，确保充足的医疗用品，并提供培训，以提高他们的满意度和动力。
