Abstract

The behavior of employees is influenced by the environment in which they find themselves and dissatisfaction associated with bad working conditions account for employees’ new job searches and actual separations. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationship between work content and motivation, on one hand, and work context and motivation, on the other hand, of hospital pharmacists in Osun state of Nigeria. Eighty seven out of 110 practicing pharmacists in secondary and tertiary hospitals in Osun State were selected randomly. They were then interviewed with the aid of a set of pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire that comprised two sections. The main section employed thirty three items made of statements on a Likert-type scale to elicit information on the relationship between work content, work context and motivation of the respondents. Descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages and medians were used to summarize the data while linear regression analysis was used to test for relationship between variables at 5% level of significance. The results showed that work content and work context contributed significantly to the regression model, F (1, 89) = 93.68, P =.00) and accounted for 55.6% and 51.3% of the variation in job motivation respectively.
