Background: Performance appraisal systems are crucial in hospitals for employee
development, managerial decision-making, and organizational efficiency. Nursing, the
largest workforce in healthcare, is influenced by both internal and external factors. This
study investigates the relationship between Management by Objectives (MBO) and the
motivation of nursing staff at a university teaching hospital in Nablus. MBO, which
emphasizes goal-setting, feedback, and collaboration, is hypothesized to enhance
motivation and job satisfaction among nurses. The research, grounded in self-
determination theory, examines how intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors interact
within the MBO framework.
Aim: This research seeks to thoroughly examine the possible impact of MBO on
increased motivation among nurses in the hospital environment.

Method: This research will involve a cross-sectional approach  examining the impact of
MBO implementation on performance metrics of the MBO system and motivation
levels among nursing personnel at a university teaching hospital through a self-
administered questionnaire.
Result: Results indicated a positive correlation between MBO execution and employee
motivation, with an R² of 0.793, which explains 79.3% of the variance in motivation
levels. In addition, descriptive statistics from perceptions of MBO and motivation
indicated high overall means. The sample also matched on the basis of gender, age,
qualifications, and experience. Results indicated that statistically significant differences
did not arise based on demographic variables, therefore showing consistent effects of
MBO.
Conclusion: These findings point to the fact that management by objectives is able to
greatly help increase motivation among nursing staff and enhance their performance.
It is advised to broaden its use to other hospitals as well to enhance the quality of health
care, and increased job satisfaction can be attained in exchange.
