Abstract

This study examined the impact of Motivation on the psychological wellbeing among Nurses. The design of the study used is Cohort. The area of the study is Enugu Metropolis. The population of the study is Two hundred and fifty (250) Nurses. The sample and sampling technique used are two hundred and fifty purposively selected. Two instruments were used to collect data. The instruments are Work extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing scales that were adopted that indicated responses from the two hundred and fifty (250) Nurses. The instruments were validated by three experts, two from measurements and evaluation and one from psychology education. ANOVA was used to analyze responses from participants. Results show that motivation predicted psychological wellbeing among Nurses. Result indicated that motivation predicted psychological wellbeing with (β= 0.18, t=2.74). This clearly does not agree with the hypothesis that motivation will not significantly predict psychological wellbeing among Nurses. Hence the hypothesis which stated that motivation will not statistically significantly predict psychological wellbeing among Nurses was not confirmed. The study recommends that Nurses should be highly motivated in order to maintain stable psychological wellbeing.
