Abstract/Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine the sources of motivation of care providers working in a government and non-government child welfare center. The factors affecting their motivation has also been examined. The researchers made use of a structured face to face interview using an interview schedule as a guide. Statistical tests such as the single ANOVA test. Eta measures of association and Pearson r correlation coefficient and content analysis were applied by the researchers.

Results show that the sources of motivation of care providers are both based on hygiene and motivator factors following Herzberg's two factor theory. The hygiene factors include policy and administration, supervision, interpersonal relations, salary and working conditions. On the other hand, the motivators include achievement, responsibility, work itself, advancement and growth, and recognition. The results of the research do not affirm the findings of Herzberg who argued that motivators are the basis and main sources of motivation. Furthermore, the factors that have the greatest effect on motivation have been age, marital status and satisfaction with work.
