We are now in the 21st century and each organisation is forced to be on the move and be dynamic, and this depends on the motivation of those working in the organisation in question. In any profession, and nursing is no exception, motivation at work is immediately reflected in everyone´s performance at work. The aim of this thesis was to chart the work motivation factors which support the decision to follow a nursing career and to map the use of motivational programmes by hospital management. Five hypotheses were established on the basis of these aims. Hypothesis 1: General nurses are motivated to pursue their career; this hypothesis was confirmed, as more than half of all nurses are satisfied with thein current positions and do not plan to leave their jobs within the next six years. Hypothesis 2: The main motivational factor to pursue a nursing career is salary assessment. This hypothesis was confirmed. This factor ranked sekond out of a total of sixteen. Hypothesis 3: For general nurses the prestige of the jo bis a motivational factor. This hypothesis was refuted; this factor ranked as the thirteenth most important. Hypothesis 4: General nurses see the possibility of further education as a motivational factor. This hypothesis was confirmed. 89 % of those questioned see this as a very important factor. Hypothesis 5: Hospitals have elaborated motivational programmes. This hypothesis was refuted. A qualitative examination of each of the interviews showed that the hospitals in question do not have motivational programmes. For the top management of hospitals these results can serve as impetus to implement new motivational programmes or procedures for assessing work performance and the effectiveness of educational activities in places where they are not yet in place.
