Abstract

<p>In recent years, the commercialization of long-term care work has dramatically changed the circumstances surrounding long-term care workers. As a consequence, it could be that the motivation of care workers has also changed. Therefore, this study aims to clarify what motivates people to become care workers, including intrinsic and economic motivation. We focused on initial training seminars that provide an entrance to the qualification system for long-term care work and conducted a questionnaire survey of seminar participants. In this survey, we asked them about their basic attributes, as well as their motivation for employment and the purpose of their attendance and conducted a statistical analysis of the data. The number of participants who emphasized livelihood motivation was about the same as those who emphasized an altruistic one. In addition, the following participant images were identified: “Young and middle-aged people: emphasized livelihood motivation,” “Young people: emphasized altruistic motivation,” and “Elderly people: emphasized altruistic motivation.”</p>
