| dc.description.abstract | Enhancing access to and the calibre of healthcare services required increased productivity in the health sector. Despite efforts to improve it, Kenya's public hospital system faced issues with low efficiency and unfulfilled goals. The subpar productivity of public health facilities underscored the importance of employee wellbeing in maintaining output. This study examined the effect of remuneration on the productivity of health workers in public facilities. Utilizing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as the theoretical framework, the study employed a stratified sampling technique with a descriptive research design to select 270 respondents from a population of 939 medical-related staff members employed by 73 public health facilities in Taita Taveta County. A preliminary pilot study involving 27 randomly selected participants was conducted at Moi County Referral Hospital to validate and ensure the reliability of the research instruments. Content validity was ensured by addressing all relevant aspects of well-being and productivity, while construct validity was assessed through expert reviews and feedback from the pilot study. Reliability was evaluated using internal consistency and test-retest methods. Data collection was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire featuring a fivepoint Likert scale, enabling both quantitative and qualitative data collection. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used to analyze data patterns, while inferential statistics, such as multiple linear regression, explored relationships between variables. The findings revealed that remuneration significantly contributed to the productivity of healthcare workers. Specifically, respondents reported that timely remuneration was critical in enhancing their motivation and output. The study concluded that addressing the challenges related to remuneration was essential for improving worker productivity and enhancing the overall performance of the healthcare system. It recommended that healthcare institutions implement targeted policies and practices to create a more motivated, satisfied, and productive workforce. | |
