Abstract

Reduced motivation have been shown to result into high stress and sense of lost control over one’s life and career contributing to a stress syndrome known as burnout. The aim of the study is toexamine the influence of motivation as a predictor of workers’ burnout among health workers in Enugu State using descriptive research design. The study population comprises of One hundred and forty eight (148) hospital staff drawn from Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Parklane. Three instruments were used in the study. They are Maslach Burnout Inventory Scale (MBI) (Maslach& Jackson 1981), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (Blais, Lachance, Vallerand, Briere& Riddle 1993) and structured questionnaire which seek to obtain information about the participants’ demographic data. The data obtained from respondents were analyzed by computing the means, standard deviations, and correlations and hierarchical Multiple Regression the study variables, The study result showed that Motivation was not a significant predictor of worker’s burnout, although it accounted for 3% of the variance in worker’s burnout (ΔR2 = .03). The 2 predictor variables in the regression model contributed 5% to the explanation of the variance in worker’s burnout (total AR2 = .05). The findings of the study shows that there is no statistically significant impact of motivation on workers burnout among health workers. The study therefore recommends that the entire society, government at all levels and health related agencies see motivation as a tool for working efficiently and effectively and not for workers to exhaust themselves so much as to be victims of burnout.
