Health Worker Motivation in Africa: the Role of Non-Financial Incentives and Human Resource Management Tools
Language:
English
Series/Journal Title:
Human Resources for Health
Publication Date:
2006
Pages:
28
Description:
There is a serious human resource crisis in the health sector in developing countries, particularly in Africa. One of the challenges is the low motivation of health workers. Experience and the evidence suggest that any comprehensive strategy to maximize health worker motivation in a developing country context has to involve a mix of financial and non-financial incentives. This study assesses the role of non-financial incentives for motivation in two cases, in Benin and Kenya. [abstract]
