The aim of this literature review is to identify factors related to high work motivation. The databases Medline and Psychlit were searched for factors related to work motivation. Different motivating factors were identified: individual factors, job and organisational factors, and factors within rehabilitation. Individual motivating factors were: interests, attitudes, needs, realistic expectancies, perceived self-efficacy, and self-confidence. Job and environmental motivating factors were: structural factors, clear goals, work content, social support, and type of rewards/feedback.

These motivating factors need to be focused in preventive activities at the work-place, as well as in work rehabilitation. (Less)
