Data were collected using a questionnaire that was tested for reliability, analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis (OR, CI 95%, p < 0.05). Results: The proportion of nurses with high work motivation was 63%. Factors that are statistically significantly related to work motivation include: professional qualifications, health status, satisfaction with income, salary increase - allowance regime and fairness in the assessment of direct managers. Conclusion: Nurses’ work motivation remains suboptimal. Income satisfaction, health status, and management style have significant influence and should be considered in personnel policy reforms.
