It is important for a service oriented organization to know and understand the motivation needs of its employees since employee motivation is a significant element of health system' performance. Providing a motivating environment for employees becomes more important in the health-care system in our world today. This quantitative study helps to increase our awareness and knowledge of the influencing motivational attributes of major private hospital staff in North Cyprus. It is an aspect of negligence having little research done on what motivates the private health sector employees in North Cyprus. It helps to examine the motivational factors that Cyprus Life Hospital employees take important to their job satisfaction. Knowing each individual employee and what motivates him or her has becomes of necessity for the health service organizations management to function productively to the employees and patients altogether. The employees constitute varying demographical characteristics with one different to the other in age, gender, race, culture and possess unique education level. Frederick Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory was used as the theoretical framework for this study. Herzberg, Mausner & Snyderman (1959) state that there were two sets of factors that influenced job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction. These unique individual factors are paramount to the job environment. One hundred and fifty (150) questionnaires were distributed to all the staff of the hospital; doctor, nurses, therapeutic staff, diagnostic staff, administrative and support staffs in Cyprus Life Hospital, North Cyprus. The statistical analysis utilized for this study is correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis to examine the relationships of multiple factors to job satisfaction and used as the theoretical framework. The result shows that Herzberg two-factor theory: the 'motivator' and 'hygiene' have impact in influencing the job satisfaction level of the hospital staff; they are not enough predictors of job satisfaction, except for connectedness to the organization. Furthermore, the demographics are not effective contributors to job satisfaction too. Keywords: Motivation, Intrinsic Factors, Extrinsic Factors, Employees, Job Satisfaction ' ER -
