Materials and methods. An anonymous sociological survey of 75 employees of medical institutions of phthisiatric profile using the developed questionnaire was conducted. The level of satisfaction with occupational activity and motivational attitudes of medical workers was studied, and recommendations for improving the complex system of motivation of medical personnel were developed. Results. Managers are more likely to be dissatisfied with the key incentives compared to doctors. The priorities for doctors are loyalty to occupational duty, financial well-being and stability, for managers — self-realization, professional growth and social status. For doctors, the main motives are material, managers believe labour efficiency to increase due to developing a system of individual incentive payments and maintaining interpersonal relationships in the team.
