Objective: This review is aimed to examine nurses' work motivation and factors affecting it.Methodology: Cochrane library, MEDLINE, PubMed, Science Direct, Cumulative Index Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), ProQuest and Ovid databases were searched, covering the period 2011 to 2017. Studies were included if they concerned nurses' work motivation and the factors affecting it. Results:In the yielded studies, nurses' work motivation is affected by several personal and organisational factors. Nurses' age, years of experience, autonomy, educational level and administrative positions were found as personal characteristics that affect nurses' work motivation level. Moreover, nurses' empowerment, work engagement, pay and financial benefits, supervision, promotion, contingent rewards, supportive relationship (co-workers), communication and nature of work were identified in the literature as organizational factors affecting nurses' work motivation. Conclusion:This review confirmed that nurses' work motivation was often affected by several personal and organizational factors which are crucial in affecting the level of nurses' work motivation.
Background and aim: Nurses are working in different healthcare organizations; each healthcare organization has different organizational resources. Therefore, factors affecting nurses' work motivation are varied among nurses. This study aimed to identify factors affecting nurses' work motivation levels at a governmental hospital in Saudi Arabia.

The survey was distributed among registered nurses working in one governmental hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to assess nurses' work motivation level and to identify the affecting factors.Results: This study showed that nurses' work motivation level is affected by several personal and organizational factors. A positive relationship was found between higher order need strength and shared values and nurses' work motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic). This study revealed that there is a positive relationship between pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, co-workers, nature of work, communication and working conditions and nurses' work motivation level.
