Abstract
Staff Nurses represent the largest group in the healthcare workforce. Their work performance and behavior are largely influenced by their motivation, which is considered an important determinant of quality nursing care. Motivation can also strengthen their work commitment and could have a positive impact on their self-efficacy. Hence, it is assumed that well-motivated staff nurses with high levels of self-efficacy are valued assets for organizational success. This research is intended to provide more evidence of the relationship between staff nurses’ self-efficacy and motivation of staff nurses in the context of nursing care.
The study was aimed to assess motivation and its influence on staff nurses’ self-efficacy through assessing motivation level and self-efficacy level among staff nurses and finding out the influence of motivation on staff nurses’ self-efficacy.
The study was carried out at Ain Shams University Hospital affiliated to Ain Shams University using a cross-sectional analytic design. It included a sample of 169 staff nurses working full time for at least one year in their current unit/department. The data collection tools consisted of the motivational factors’ questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. They were face and content-validated by a panel of experts in nursing administration and pilot-tested. All administrative and ethical requirements were fulfilled.
The main study findings were as follows.
Staff nurses’ age ranged between 17 and 59 years, 46.2% were males, and 37.3% had a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Their median experience was 7.0 years.
High motivation ranged between 42.0% for the dimension of achievement to 71.0% for peer interaction.
Overall, 53.3% of the staff nurses had high total motivation, and 69.8% had high total self-efficacy.
Significantly more staff nurses in the age group 30-<40 had high motivation in the dimension of nature of work.
Significantly more married staff nurses with a diploma degree had high motivation in the achievement dimension.
The percentage of nurses having high self-efficacy was significantly higher among those in the age group 40+ years.
A significant positive correlation (r=0.190) was found between staff nurses’ total scores of motivation and self-efficacy.
In multivariate analysis:
o Age was a significant positive predictor of staff nurses’ motivation score, whereas their level of qualification and their experience years were negative predictors.
o Being married was the only positive predictor of the self-efficacy score.
