Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of job motivation factors including intrinsic and extrinsic in augmenting the performance of nurses and paramedical staff and also to assess the mediating effect of employee commitment. The current research is based on expectancy theory. The simple random sampling technique has been used and data were collected through survey questionnaire from paramedical staff (grade 16 and above) of government hospitals of urban Sindh, Pakistan. The sample size required calculated through G*power software was 258; however we received 265 responses out of 300 (response rate 88.3%). The data were analyzed through Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in Smart PLS 3.0 version software. The hypotheses testing results indicated that “employees’ intrinsic motivation (IM)” and “extrinsic motivation (EM)” had a significant positive impact on “employee performance (EP)”. The findings of this study also reported that both types of motivations (intrinsic & extrinsic) impact indirectly on workforce performance through mediator “employee commitment”. This means that nurses and healthcare workers provided with greater motivation aspects (intrinsic and extrinsic) have higher work performance and their commitment also increases which further lead to their enhanced productivity in their jobs. The authors concluded this empirical study with implications, some limitation and directions for the research in future.
