Branislav Stanuga ; Faculty of Medicine, Zagreb

Abstract

Motivation at work was studied in a representative sample of nurses in Croatia. The size of the sample was N = 947. The adapted questionnaire by Petz-Bujas (1961) was used. A hierarchy of motivation was determined for nurses with secondary and higher education in out-patient and in-patient institutions in Zagreb and Croatia. It was found that first in order was that (1) the job is interesting, (2) the collaborators are pleasant and (3) that the managers are pleasant and friendly while personal income is on the 5th place.
It was found that there exist numerous links between personal and working professional characteristics, and motivation factors.
