Abstract

Although several measures were done by the government to control the spread of this disease, but this disease is still reported to increase the number of death cases in the country. This study examined the influence of motivation on willingness of health workers in providing TB services at Tunduma Town Council. The study specifically addressed; the influence of working condition on willingness of health workers in providing TB services; the contribution of developed skills on willingness of health workers in providing TB services; and the influence of adequate staff on willingness of health workers in providing TB services. A total of 90 structured questionnaires were distributed to health workers using simple random sampling. Data for the study was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The study found that working condition has significant influence on willingness of health workers to provide TB services. The findings also indicated that developed skills are statistically and significantly influencing willingness of health workers to provide TB services. Lastly, the findings indicated that adequate staff has significant influence on willingness of health workers to provide TB services. This implies that the government through the Ministry of Health should increase the level of willingness of health workers on providing TB services by improving working condition, improving developed skills among health workers, and considering the availability adequate staff on working place. Keywords: Motivation, Health workers, Tunduma Town Council, Tuberculosis
