Abstract

Motivational factors identified as linked to trust include respect; recognition, appreciation and rewards; supervision; teamwork; management support; autonomy; communication, feedback and openness; and staff shortages and resource inadequacy. Evidence indicates that workplace trust relationships encourage social interactions and cooperation among health workers, have impact on their intrinsic motivation, and have consequences for retention, performance and quality of care. Human resource management and organisational practices are critical in sustaining workplace trust and health workers motivation.
