In this article we intend to study the motivation types valid for the personnel employed in the public health institutions particularised at the level of the "Prof. Dr. C. C. Iliescu" Emergency Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, to identify, for each of the categories of human resources involved in this system, the factors that motivate them. The research done in this paper shows that: incentives motivated employees are resident doctors, specialist doctors, nurses; motivation based on fear of punishment is found in all categories of staff; this situation is also valid for achievementbased motivation, with a certain reservation as far as medical nurses are concerned; the motivation based on the constant need to improve own results is mostly found in resident doctors and young specialist doctors, in medical nurses with little lentgh service; in terms of power-based motivation, those who can hold leading positions and have access to power are senior doctors with the highest university degrees - associate professors and professors. Research results provide support for management representatives to identify the most effective motivation measures for employees, given that a motivated employee will make available to the organization of which he or she is a member his/her full competence to obtain maximum results.
