Aim: To provide a scientific rationale for various approaches to the practical application of individual motivation theories in order to develop a motivated medical workforce as the foundation for strengthening healthcare systems. Materials and Methods: Based on comparative analysis, as well as systematic and analytical approaches to understanding selected motivation theories - namely Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, Adams's Equity Theory, Vroom's Expectancy Theory, and Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory - the authors propose integrating these theories into managerial strategies. Conclusions: A well-functioning healthcare workforce system requires not only a sufficient number of professionals but also effective motivation strategies based on various theories, such as those by Maslow, Herzberg, and Vroom, to enhance job satisfaction and retention. Understanding and applying these theories help managers create optimal working conditions, reduce turnover, improve service quality, and strengthen the healthcare system's overall efficiency and reputation.
