Knowing How to Make People Happy: Reflections on Health Worker Motivation

Today, Barbara Stilwell writes from the Second Global Forum on Human Resources for Health in Bangkok about ways to find out what makes health workers happy. Stilwell discusses a  workshop on the Discrete Choice Experiment, which is a method for determining preferences among a target study population and then weighing how important each of those preferences really are by forcing a person to make a ‘trade-off.’ She points to this work as well as work in Botswana that help understand health workers’ personal and professional motivations. Read the complete piece in the Global Health Magazine.
