Abstract: A list of five possible work-related outcomes was compiled and included in a questionnaire. This was administered to 490 employees, categorized into seven occupational groups, in three different hospitals in Manila, The Philippines. Responses were compared among work outcomes, identical occupational groups and three hospitals; the most valued outcome was established for all respondents. Findings indicate that variables apt to motivate employees depend on the occupational group to which they belong, the kind of work they perform and the type of hospital in which they work. These findings have implications for the ability of hospital administrators to motivate their employees to perform in a manner that meets expected standards.
