“…Wage plays an important role in the motivation of employees; it also reflects whether the opportunities provided by the organisation meet the needs of an employee; in other words, it is associated with the expectations or needs of an individual. While in some studies in the literature wage does not rank first among the important motivation factors (Bodur & İnfal, ; Hee, Kamaludin, & Ping, ; Said et al, ), in many studies it is considered to be an important factor affecting the motivation of nurses (Adzei & Atinga, ; Baljoon et al, ; Bodur & İnfal, ; Chandler, Chonya, Mtei, Reyburn, & Whitty, ; Fedele, ; Kamanzi & Nkosi, ; Negussie, ; Ozturk, Bahcecik, & Baumann, ; Von Bonsdorff, ). In some other studies, nurses stated that they were not satisfied with the wages they received (Kamanzi & Nkosi, ) that insufficient wages/salaries demotivated them (Bhatnagar, Gupta, Alonge, & George, ) and that if their motivation was to be increased, then their wages/salaries should be increased.…”
