    The relationship between the sources of employees' motivation and work engagement in Seventh-day Adventist institutions in Madagascar
    (Adventist University of Africa, School of Postgraduate studies, 2020-03) Andrianasolo, Tantely Eric
    Employee engagement and motivation are important issues for today’s management. Employee’s motivation has been in discussion for years and each organization adopted its proper compensation plans and strategies in order to make employees more productive. Motivation drives employees to perform well and give the best they can. Thus, motivated employees help organizations attain their goals. It is the reason why such a study has been done. Its purpose is to explore the relationship between sources of employees’ motivation and work engagement in Seventh-day Adventist institutions in Madagascar. The present study also wanted to determine the variables which have a significant effect on work engagement in the Adventist institutions in Madagascar. In order to fulfill the research purpose, a self-designed questionnaire was used to collect data. The target population was 205, and 157 out of 205 sharedquestionnaires were collected. Female gender was the most represented and the majority of respondents were from the age group of 40-49 years old. The 10 years and more categories of service were more represented compared to others. Many of the respondents hold a Bachelor’s degree. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to perform the required test of descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results of SPSS revealed a positive relationship between intrinsic motivation, individual characteristics, spirituality, and work engagement. However, the correlation and multiple regression analysis showed that only personal characteristics (ability and personality) and spirituality are important determinants of employee work engagement. Based on the findings, it is concluded that sources of intrinsic motivation are extremely important to employees. In addition, personal characteristics and spirituality are key determinants of work engagement in the Adventist institutions in Madagascar.
