Abstract: Purpose: The study aimed to assess the influence of the health provider non-financial incentives on motivation of chps for provision of community health services in Voi Sub-County, Taita Taveta County Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was used, employing various data collection methods such as questionnaires and key informant interviews. The primary population included 1,394 CHPs, with a sample of 310 selected via cluster sampling. Additionally, 40 members from the Sub-County Health Management Team (SCHMT) and 12 from the County Health Management Team (CHMT) were purposively sampled. Pre-testing of the tools ensured their validity and reliability, followed by a baseline survey before any interventions. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Findings: The findings indicated that CHPs exhibited high levels of motivation, which correlated with several non-financial incentives. CHPs acknowledged certain health provider non-financial incentives, these did not significantly affect their motivation, thereby upholding the null hypothesis. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This suggests a critical need for enhanced support in this area. To enhance CHP motivation, the study recommends developing structured career pathways, improving recognition systems, strengthening supply chains, and tailoring non-financial incentives. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies, regional comparisons, financial incentive impacts, qualitative insights, and the correlation between CHP motivation and community health outcomes.
