Abstract Background: The translation and cultural adaptation of psychometrically tested tools is regarded as an essential component of effective human resource management in the public health care and especially in the tertiary settings. The Work Extrinsic, Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) is a valid instrument designed to measure work motivation in organizations. Aim: The aim of this study is 1) to describe the translation, adaptation and validation of the WEIMS questionnaire into Greek language in a sample of specialized nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Operating Theatres of a universal hospital and 2) identify the motivators for doing that work and correlate them with descriptive variables of age, sex, level of education, years of experience and ward. Methods: A modified version of the English self-administered questionnaire consisting of 18-items was used. Internationally recommended methodology mandating forward, backward translation, reconciliation and pretesting steps were followed. Reproducibility was measured (test – retest reliability) by the Spearman correlation coefficient. Internal consistency of the items assessed using the Cronbach’s alpha. Construct validity were assessed with correlation of the subscales by the Spearman coefficient. Discriminant validity were assessed. Results: The psychometric properties of the Greek version of the WEIMS questionnaire for nursing staff employed in a tertiary hospital were good. Reliability with test – retest was satisfying, most of the items had positive correlations. Cronbach’s alpha was found to be from 0,60-0,80. The subsales measuring autonomous motivation (intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation and identified regulation) had significant positive correlations and subscale of amotivation had Δημόσια Υγεία & Διοίκηση Υ̟ηρεσιών Υγείας Τμήμα Ιατρικής – Πανε̟ιστήμιο Κρήτης 4 significant negative correlation with intrinsic motivation subscale and the Work Self –Determined Index. The higher score was in the intrinsic motivation scale mean= 3,82 SD 0,78 and the lowest in the subscale amotivation mean= 1,87 SD 0,78 Conclusions: The translated and adapted Greek version is comparable with the original English questionnaire as it concerns the validity and reliability. We assessed it in a sample of nurses and extract useful conclusions for their motivation. It could be a useful tool in the hands of administrations for identifying the types of nurse’s motivation and implement successful strategies of empowerment.
