Motivation of health professionals is one of the key ways to ensuring efficient provision of health  services. Improving the motivation of health workers in rural and remote areas is of greatest concern to all countries  worldwide. Even though factors influencing health worker motivation are well established in the literature, little is  known about the motivational factors that are of relevance to different categories of rural health workers in  developing countries. Objectives: Employing questionnaire survey, we studied 252 health employees of a rural healthcare organization in Northern Ghana to understand the motivational factors that are considered most important by rural health  workers, and to determine if these factors are valued differently by different cadres of health professionals. Results: Our findings showed financial rewards as the number one motivator; followed by promotion, growth and  development; job security; acknowledgement, praise and recognition; and working environment in that order.  Different cadres of the rural health professionals valued the motivational factors differently: doctors were motivated  by their working environment; nurses by promotion, growth and development; pharmacists and pharmacy  technicians by praise, acknowledgement and recognition; and support staff and laboratory technicians by financial  rewards. Conclusion: Motivational factors should be applied to different cadres of rural health workers differently.
