Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze motivation, to determine its impact on improving the work environment of the Administrative Units of the District Directorate 15D01 Archidona-Carlos Julio Arosemena Tola-Tena, Education in Ecuador. The methodological approach is quantitative, since surveys were applied to 40 public servants from the administrative area of the analysis unit, object of study. To measure these variables, surveys on the work environment developed by Koys & Decottis (1991) were applied, which has 8 dimensions. While to measure the motivation variable, Maslow Herzberg's instrument was applied, which indicates that there is a relationship between psychological characteristics and work performance. The dimensions belong to intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and transcendental motivation. The result was that 85% of those surveyed feel motivated all the time, however, 56% express that there is no teamwork and they do not feel supported by the leaders of the entity. Therefore, it is concluded that, although the collaborators meet high standards in motivation, the work environment is not adequate to perform their functions, since there is no trust or institutional recognition.
