Abstract

Human motivation for work is something that interferes with the process of human relations, quality of life and productivity. Investigations on the subject emerged in the twentieth century and continue to be hot topic due to its complexity and importance. Many studies related to work motivation address both extrinsic as intrinsic aspects inherent to the process and are conducted in various productive sectors. However, it is proposed in this dissertation, we identify factors of influence for the motivation of physiotherapists working in clinics in João Pessoa, PB. The survey drew on the quantitative method with exploratory and descriptive approach, built from a literature review and a field study conducted by questionnaire. The research was composed of physiotherapists working in the thirty-seven clinics for physiotherapy in the city. Among the population raised from sixty-three, the sample consisted of forty-four volunteers. The collected data were recorded and analyzed using SPSS 18.0 (Statistical Packpage of Social Science) version for Windows, by using the frequency calculation, reduction tests of variables, tests of dependency such as correlation, regression analysis, and testing for consistency analysis of the items. The results indicated that the nature of the task factors, recognition and professional autonomy, the personal and professional achievement and interpersonal relationships, are influential factors in the motivation of physiotherapists working in clinics in João Pessoa PB.
