Sample Literature
The implementation of nursing motivation and productivity labeling as noted by interaction with health oriented forces and will require innovative sets from health care systems (Burke and Litwin, 1992). Several strategies might involve creating flexible motivation and productive capabilities within nursing management framework. The basic idea behind strategic domains is to provide clear focus and to help establish the gaps in nursing care performance and concern opportunity for care management (Felkins et al.,1993). For instance, Herzberg′s (1968), theory assume employee benefit program as necessary and with sufficient working condition among nurses and will affect on motivation and productivity. Thus, motivation can be analysed from absence rate, leave rate, quit rate, work speed and so on and so forth. Productivity can be analysed from quality and quantity of products. The quality indices include faults and returns; the quantity indices include completion time and the production factor depending on individual properties of nurses, who is the medium essential for nursing care, stimulate the health care team to enhance motivation and productivity to care. The degree of reward influences the quality and quantity of work thus, turning in productivity and important to explore how to give stimulus in order to promote motivation and productivity among nurses.
Motivation
Motivation research has history of considering employee motives and needs (McClelland and Franz, 1992) as majority of work on motives and need falls into the examination of the job attributes that motivate individuals, research that examines need for achievement. Motivation has been described as "one of pivotal concerns of modern organizational research" (Baron, 1991, p. 1). Pinder (1998) describes work motivation as set of internal and external forces that initiate work related behavior, determination of form, direction, intensity as well as duration. Nurse motivation can be at middle range concept that deals with patient care events and phenomena related to health care team comprising of effective work context.
Productivity
Productivity growth determines living standards and the wealth of nations as because the amount nation can consume is ultimately closely tied to what it produces. By the same token, the success of nursing care depends on nurses' ability to deliver more real value care for patients without using extensive labor inputs. Productivity is simple concept pressing in an amount of output produced per unit of nursing care input. In particular, professional care delivery produced by nursing care team on the value created for patients as the value depends increasingly on care quality, convenience, also other competencies.
Methodology Overview
A total of 50 nurses working in at least 5 healthcare institutions in Oman will serve as research participants of the study. This will be in statement like questions pertaining to a five point scale system calculation and interpretation integrating in percentage frequencies of statement responses such as for example, additional payment scheme routes, nursing profession education and training, individual/ family vacations, paid leaves, housing and commuting benefits and flexible working time. Nurses have major role in providing quality care to patients as nurses no longer feel that nurses' work is valued and they are concerned about their productivity. Nurses' views about productivity and motivation factors affecting it have been identified as the most important aspects affecting productivity. Thus, study will assess productivity from nurse's viewpoints, grounded theory approach will be used in research and qualitative nature of motivation, productivity is very important for example, it can be that nursing management could be a factor that promote or impede nurses' productivity influencing in motivation to care. The effective management can improve nurses' productivity and motivation of care that nurses provide thus, drawing comparisons to other studies and suggesting implications for improving nurse supervision, performance and outcomes. Nursing profession could consider several recommendations to improve motivation and productivity like, providing adequate flexile work hours, improving health care system planning and scheduling of nursing workplace, improving nurse communications within other nurses and healthcare groups. The examining of relationships of motivation and productivity in nursing work group of health departments in Oman, to focus on level of communication flow, decision-making practices, motivational conditions, quality of group interactions. The relationships of motivation to productivity across series of nursing services will be evaluated along with implications of findings for strategies to improve the functioning of nursing work groups.
