| Summary: | Background: Nurses' low job motivation can significantly affect the quality of service and also one factor that causes nurses drive away from the profession. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess job motivation and associated factors among nurses working at Jimma Town health institutes. Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was employed from May 20-30/2019 on 253 systematically selected nurses. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. Significant association was declared at p-value of <0.05. Results: This study revealed that, 115 (45.5%) of nurses were unmotivated. Type of health institutions [(AOR (95% CI) 0.162 (0.078-0.336)], educational qualification [(AOR (95% CI) 0.458 (0.247-0.851)], perceived respect for nursing profession [(AOR (95% CI) 0.472 (0.248-0.900)], Perceived respect and benefit to nurses in the working organization [(AOR (95% CI) 0.281 (0.114-0.695)] and work experience [(AOR (95% CI) 0.343 (0.146-0.804)] were significantly associated with nurses' job motivation. Conclusions: In conclusion, nurses' job motivation was low. Type of health institution, educational qualification, perceived respect for nursing profession by other professionals, perceived respect and benefit for nurses in the working organization, and work experience were identified independent predictors of nurses' job motivation. Therefore, it is better to improve the nurses' job motivation through implementation of performance appraisal system to recognize the nurses according to their loads and performance, creating collaborative and cooperative working environment, and team sprit among health care providers. |
