The Influence of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation on the Performance of Hospital Blood Management Unit (UPDRS) Personnel at Nabire Regional General Hospital

Work motivation is relevant to staff performance and the availability of hospital blood services. This study examined the individual and joint associations of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation with staff performance in the Hospital Blood Management Unit (UPDRS) at Nabire Regional General Hospital. An analytical cross-sectional design was employed, involving all 30 active UPDRS staff members through total sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a five-point Likert response format and analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. Intrinsic motivation was positively correlated with performance (r = .410, p = .025) and remained positively and significantly associated with performance in the regression model (B = 0.119, p = .036). Extrinsic motivation showed a positive but nonsignificant correlation with performance (r = .171, p = .367) and was not significantly associated with performance in the regression model (p = .567). The overall model was not statistically significant (F = 2.926, p = .071) and accounted for 17.8% of the variance in performance. Intrinsic motivation therefore showed a more consistent association with performance within this staff group, although the nonsignificant overall model limits conclusions about the joint contribution of both motivational factors. These findings provide context-specific evidence for considering intrinsic motivation in efforts to understand and support staff performance in hospital blood services.
