ABSTRACT:
Motivation is a complex mental process that in its dynamics represents a specific cycle - a motivational cycle. It combines three basic elements: needs, motives and satisfaction. In the present article, data from a specific empirical study analyzes the correlation between professional motives and the satisfaction of nurses working in a hospital station. It is found that satisfaction is clearly dependent on the motivation to choose a profession and the organization of nursing work. At the same time, satisfaction reverses the level of professional motivation of the nurses and the overall psychic climate in the nursing team.
Keywords: motivation, satisfaction, motivation cycle, profession selection, nursing staff turnover,
