Abstract

Educational staff play an important role in supporting the smooth running of administration and academic services in higher education institutions. Work motivation is one of the factors that influence the performance of educational staff, which is formed from internal and external factors. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of motivator and hygiene factors in the formation of work motivation among educational staff at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Sebelas Maret University. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of educational staff as research informants. The results show that the work motivation of educational staff is formed through the interaction between motivator factors such as achievement, recognition, responsibility, self-development, and the work itself, with hygiene factors such as organizational policies, work relationships, work environment conditions, leadership supervision, and compensation. The findings also show that there is an overlap between motivational and hygiene factors in work practices, so that work motivation is formed through a balance between intrinsic motivation and organizational support
