Health professionals deal with human life and are required to perform many functions simultaneously, including taking care of patients, teaching medical students, and having a variety of administrative responsibilities, in addition to the responsibilities that come with having their own family. Therefore, a lack of motivation among health professionals at any level of this hierarchy can have an effect on their performance, which in turn can have an impact, either directly or indirectly, on the patients. In this research, a systematic review of primary data from the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, and Asia was carried out to consolidate the existing evidence about the impact that the motivation of medical staff has on the quality of practice in the healthcare industry. It was found that it is essential to motivate people to increase the total productivity of their work, and a range of financial and non-financial strategies may be used to accomplish this objective. However, to correctly implement the most successful type of motivation, managers or supervisors must assess their workers individually and the workforce. We can conclude that medical staff motivation has a positive impact on the quality of practice in healthcare. However, Healthcare worker motivation is not the result of a simple cause-and-effect relationship but rather a complex interaction of elements, all of which must be addressed within the context of the cultural norms governing each country's healthcare system.
