ABSTRACT

Motivation has always been argued to be the essential factor in the management of personnel. It is also known as a crucial variable in producing a high performance of an organization. The relationship between motivation and performance has been widely examined in previous studies. However, it seems that motivation has become one of the big questions in government organization, in particular among developing countries. Thus, understanding how employees in the public sector assess the motivation and performance is interesting. This study aims to examine the influence of two employees’ characteristics on their perception of motivation and performance. It examines a sample of 96 employees assigned specifically to deal with the prevention of Dengue Fever in Jember District Health Office, East Java Province, Indonesia. A univariate test is performed to test the hypotheses. Results show that age and gender are not related to both the work motivation and performance of employees.
