Abstract:
This study aims to explore and compare work motivation among personnel of the
Department Medical of Services. The sample group of this study is staff of 11 units, in total 189
people, in the Management Assistance Group of the Department Medical of Services. Survey and
questionnaires are used in gathering data, with the reliability of the questionnaire of 0.810.
Statistical tools employed to analyze the data are frequency, percentage, mean, standard
deviation, the one-way analysis of variance, and Scheffe's Test.
The study finds that the overall level of work motivation of personnel is relatively
high. The top 3 factors with the highest average of motivation are work determination, success of
work, and accountability, while the lowest average motivation is salary. The result of comparing
work motivation among personnel shows that male personnel generally have a higher level of
work motivation than that of female personnel. In addition, it is found that personnel with a
Bachelors degree have the highest level of work motivation, and followed by that of those with
graduate degrees, while personnel with educational backgrounds below a Bachelors degree have
the lowest level of work motivation. Personnel with a position as government employees have
the highest level of work motivation, followed by that of those with a position as employees of
the Ministry of Public Health, and that of those as permanent employees, respectively. Moreover,
it is found that personnel with more than 15 years of service have the highest level of work
motivation, followed by that of those with less than 5 years of service that of those with between
5-10 years of service and that of those with between 11-15 years of service respectively. The
result of the statistical hypothesis testing, with a level of significance at 0.05, shows that gender is
significant at 0.239, education is significant at 0.157, and the number years of service is
significant at 0.290. These are greater than the level of significance at 0.05: the null hypothesis is therefore rejected. Hence, it can be concluded that gender, level of education, different years of
service yield no difference in work motivation. Meanwhile, the position variable is significant at
0.045 which is less than the level of significance at 0.05, so the null hypothesis is accepted. This
indicates that a difference in position at work influences work motivation.
