Data collected was tabulated, coded and analyzed descriptively through frequency, mean and standard deviation; and regression model. The results indicated that coefficient of adjusted R2 was 0.832. This implies that pay, job recognition, career advancement, and workplace environment accounted for 83.2% of changes in the performance of healthcare personnel. The results also showed a strong correlation between health care professionals' performance and employees’ motivation. The study concluded that employees’ motivation affects the performance of health care workers in public owned hospitals.
