| This research used a two-phase explanatory mixed-method design to assess monetary and nonmonetary, extrinsic and intrinsic, motivation factors that drive workers in faith-based international nonprofit organization to perform effectively. The quantitative correlational research administered a web-based survey to correlate a measure of monetary and nonmonetary incentives, leadership style, and organizational culture with a measure of motivation levels. Three faith-based nonprofit international humanitarian organizations administered the instrument; 538 participants completed the survey. The data revealed positive significant correlation between workers' motivation level and nonmonetary incentives, leadership style, and organizational culture, but no significant relationship between workers' motivation level and monetary incentives. Post-survey descriptive open-ended interviews were conducted with 30 participants to explore patterns of intrinsic, work-related, motivational factors that drive workers to excel in their performance. Findings of the qualitative data complemented the quantitative analysis. A leadership-motivation model was developed to assist global leaders in understanding the close association between leadership style and motivational outcome. |
