Measuring Health Workers’ Motivation Composition : Validation of a Scale Based on Self-Determination Theory in Burkina Faso

Although motivation of health workers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has become a topic of increasing interest by policy makers and researchers in recent years, many aspects are not well understood to date. This is partly due to a lack of appropriate measurement instruments. This articl...
