Association Between Motivating Factors and Employee Performance of Radiology Technicians
Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the association between the Motivating Factors (MFs) and employee performance of radiology technicians. The methodology was a cross-sectional, descriptive correlation analysis that used a “Test to evaluate Motivating Factors” (according to F. Herzberg) and a “Performance review sheet” (to measure the performance of the participants, according to their supervisors) to collect data. Afterward, we determined the association between MFs and employee performance. We used Microsoft Excel, Stata v.16.0, and the Pearson correlation for the statistical analysis. The population and the sample comprised N=77 and n=64 participants, respectively. Among the most remarkable motivating factors, we found that the average scores of professional growth, relationships with peers, achievement, and work security were 9.015 ± 1.923, 8.812 ± 2.259, 8.406 ± 2.060, and 8.203 ± 2.520, respectively. In turn, employee performance was unsatisfactory (7.81 %), good (28.13 %), and very good (64.06 %). Regarding the association between motivating factors and employee performance, out of the 15 motivating factors studied here, the most relevant values were those of “work security” (r: 0.2511, p=0.04) and “relationship with supervision” (r: -0.2508, p=0.04). We conclude that these two motivating factors are significantly associated with the employee performance of radiology technicians. We also found that, the higher the priority of the relationship with supervisors, the worse the employee performance; and, on the contrary, the higher the priority of motivating factors, the better the performance.
