Do you know that in the workplace, there are two types of people? The first type are the ones who goes straight to their desk to work and the friendly individuals who in turn receive better results in terms of work.

Keep in mind that it is important that you greet your co-workers, from your boss to the staff, crew, janitors and security people. Giving a warm greeting and a sincere smile can complete a person’s day. It is important that you show that you care for them and truly. Do this with all your heart everyday and surely, you will be an asset of the company.

It is fun to have an energetic co-worker with you. Moods and attitudes are infectious. A person can guess on how you’re feeling on a specific day through your body language. It is important that you take away all the negative vibes and deal with the positive one to be able to have an enjoyable working day.

Giving out a smile and acknowledging other people’s works and effort helps in boosting self-confidence and can help other be motivated to do better with their task next time. Enthusiasm is very helpful in a stressful working day. It will give the members a feeling of enjoying what they’re doing.

In the workplace, the first few minutes in the morning can be the most important time of the day. It is important that you arrive early in the office especially when you are a leader. How can you motivate your subordinates if you can’t even arrive on time? It is really frustrating on the part of the employee if his boss is minutes or an hour late. If possible, arrive before your working time so that the other employees can see your dedication to your work and will be motivated to follow your footsteps. Being a leader means being a role model. Time is gold so don’t you ever waste it.

In conclusion, we find that it is necessary to motivate people who work under the medical field (not discriminating other fields only giving importance to the topic). The effectiveness of the workers lies in the leadership of the employer or manager. He or she must know enough data skills and people skills.

Moreover, we have also tackled that both internal and external factors are equally important to avoid mediocrity. To achieve this, there are two ways to motivate them and those are the Proactive and Reactive Technique. Both are considered important. And lastly, we find that effectiveness in jobs is related to the workers’ psychological and emotional state. Motivation, therefore, is a must.

According to Frederick Herzberg, an employee’s motivation is affected by factors like recognition, achievement, recognition, challenges, quality of work content, growth, and advancement. Factors like the administration, salary, and company policies produce dissatisfaction. Herzberg figured out that there are other factors needed to keep employees from being demotivated and to produce an environment that will motivate them. These factors affect the policies and administration, the supervision received during the job, interpersonal relations, working conditions, salary, and security. Although these do not necessarily make employees more motivated, it decreases dissatisfaction and brings peace and order to the workplace.

Studies show that in America alone, there are 580,000 people working in the medical field. It is not surprising that many are choosing to take on the health industry especially for developing countries like the Philippines. It had become a major industry and source of financial stability. Since there is a steady increase in the number of employees under this industry, therefore, it is deemed most necessary to give importance to their work productivity.

Productivity doesn’t come from all employees because not everyone has the same reason or “motive” why they are to live out the life of this industry. Some even worked for the sake of earning and not for personal satisfaction. In other words, even the outcomes of their tasks are affected. This results to mediocrity and a second-rate service to the mass which also creates a domino effect in the country’s capability in the health industry. The author, therefore, aims to explore the band-aid solution that prevents mediocrity through “motivation.”

Writing down your goals with specific and desirable objectives will guide you in setting your goals and sticking to it. Setting a deadline to obtain your goal is a big help too. You must write in outline form all that you need to do to reach your goal one step at a time. State the job, title and even the salary that you want. It is important to aim high but don’t forget to be realistic. You must also be prepared with the possible obstacles that might go your way and take note on how you can solve them. It is also recommended that you make a list of individuals that are willing to help you out.

Nurses ideally have a genuine concern for the sick and the wounded. Many people are lured to taking nursing courses because of the numerous opportunities that registered nurses can avail of. The best motivating factor in choosing a nursing career, however, should be because you have genuine concern and interest in helping the sick. If you find yourself irritable and uncomfortable around sick people who need your assistance and help, it would be more difficult for you to become an effective and sympathetic nurse. Remember that it is not only medical help that patients ask for from nurses but attention, care and sympathy.

Nurses should be willing to learn. The years that a nurse spends in getting a degree in nursing merely prepares her for the profession but additional trainings, learning and advancements are needed for nurses to become more competent in the field of medical service. In addition to this, the advent of many medical technologies that are now being used in hospitals call for nurses who have the ability to learn using them so as to give the most effective medical treatment that a hospital can give to its patients. Nurses can often take additional training or pursue further studies in the field of nursing. Alternatively, nurses can also get additional inputs from doctors and highly trained medical staffs, or avail of hospital programs offered to give additional training.
