Summary/Abstract: Aim: This research investigates the satisfaction and motivation of academic staff and medical workers during the Covid-19 pandemic in Kosovo. Method: For the realization of this study, the questionnaires were completed by two categories: academic staff and medical workers (lab technicians and nurses) researching the impact of COVID-19 on the degree of their motivation at work and their job satisfaction. All responses were completely anonymous. Results: The findings showed there were also significant correlations (r = 0.673; p <0.01) presio motivation and job satisfaction and between intrinsic motivation and job satisfaction (r = 0.585; p <0.01). A significant difference was found between job satisfaction and work experience (t = 15.54; p <0.01). We also found a significant difference not only in external motivation, which means that regardless of job satisfaction, subjects also show interest in material motivation (salary, benefits, promotions).Conclusions: We conclude that motivation and job satisfaction of academic staff and medical workers were high during the Covid-19 pandemic.
