Midterm Case Study: Motivating Employees
Due Week 5 and worth 300 points
Imagine that you have been appointed the Director of Health at the
Kaluyu Memorial Hospital in Nairobi, Kenya – a for-profit hospital. The
facility is also a referral hospital and receives severe cases of accidents,
chronicle / communicable diseases, and houses an HIV / AIDS ward. As
you settle into your position, you realize that the employees always act
scared as they approach their superiors. Some of the employees even
deliver files and leave your office in a hurry.
As you make your routine departmental visits, you realize that there are
tensions between nurses and doctors, and there is a sentiment that the
nurses tend to do the majority of the work within patient care but the
doctors get all the credit. You realize that the employees are always
looking forward to the end of their shifts to go home. Some employees
even come back to work wearing the same unwashed clothes as the
previous day. Too many employees are calling in sick, and many of
them give weak reasons for their tardiness.
There is also a sense that employees and nurses dominate other
employees in similar positions. In meetings and conference calls, some
employees are always quiet and never participate. You notice that people
with families tend to gather and talk quietly on breaks. The new mothers
working for the hospital have to use bathrooms to pump breast milk for
their infants and the refrigerators do not work well. Looking at the

2. financial statements of the hospital, you realize that the hospital
expenses are higher than the industry standard, and it makes losses year
after year.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed
for the completion of this assignment.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
1. Investigate the major demotivational factors at Kaluyu Memorial
Hospital. Assess the level of impact that the identified factors could have
on specific areas of service and business if the administration does not
address the situation. Support your response with at least two (2)
examples of the potential negative impact of the identified
demotivational factors on the hospital.
2. Choose Maslow’s, Herzberg’s, or McClelland’s model of motivation,
and argue the primary reasons why it is applicable to the Kaluyu
Memorial Hospital scenario.
3. Formulate a communication system that will have the greatest impact
on improving the situation, and specify the major reasons why your
system will influence the employee behaviors for the better. Justify your
response.
4. Use four (4) recent (within the last five [5] years) quality academic
resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not
qualify as quality academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA
or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The
cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
assignment page length.

3. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:
• Propose methodologies that have been proven to increase value in
health care delivery systems.
• Examine the impact of motivation on quality, safety, and legal risks
associated with health care organizations.
