Abstract:
Employee motivation can potentially affect the provision of health services. At the same time, it is affected by different factors among which training is one. However, there is limited information on the linkage between training and employee motivation in Ethiopia in general and Oromia regional state in particular.
Objective: The main objective of this study was toassess the relationship between training and motivation among health professionals in five public Hospitals of East Shoa Zone,Oromia state.
Methods: A facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from August 13 to September 2, 2018 in five hospitals located in East Shoa zone. The sample size of the study was 422.A total of 390 health professionals were included in this study. We have employed a systematic random sampling technique to identify respondents for this study. Data werecollected using a pretestedself-administered questionnaire. The collected data were processed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 20.Simple and multi-variabl logistic regression were used to identify independent predictors of the outcome variable. Variables with p-value less than 0.25 in simple logistic regression were considered as candidate variables for the multivariable logistic regression. We have used p-value less than 0.05 to declare statistical association. Finally the information were presented using tables, charts and description.
Result:From a total of 422 questionnaires distributed to respondent were retuned 390 questionnaires to respondent. About 390 respondent of health worker health professionals were participated in the study which provided the response rate of 92.2%.Out the respondents, 215(55.1%) were males and 174(44.6%) were females with mean age of 27.917(SD=3.6) years. Among these respondents 172(55.9%) had received a form of training within the health facilities and 218(44.1%) of the respondents were not received any training within the health facilities. Overall motivation mean score was found to be 3.3(SD=0.27). The mean score of motivation among trained was greater as compared with motivation among non-trained. The logistic regression model has indicated training has a significant effect on employees’ motivation(AOR=1.1; 95% CI: 1
