Hubungan Motivasi dengan Kinerja Kader Posyandu di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Sunyaragi Kota Cirebon Tahun 2025

Abstract. Posyandu cadres play a strategic role in community-based health services, particularly in maternal and child health programs. Motivation is often considered an important factor influencing cadres’ performance in carrying out their duties. This study aimed to describe the level of motivation, performance, and the relationship between motivation and performance among Posyandu cadres in the working area of Sunyaragi Public Health Center, Cirebon City, in 2025. This research employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 100 Posyandu cadres were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the Motivation at Work Scale to assess motivation and a cadre performance questionnaire based on three Posyandu activity indicators: before, during, and after Posyandu activities. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Fisher–Freeman–Halton Exact Test. The results showed that most cadres had moderate motivation (59%) and good performance (88%). Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.897, indicating no significant relationship between motivation and cadre performance. These findings suggest that cadre performance is not solely determined by motivation but is also influenced by other factors such as work experience, training, supervision by health workers, family support, and the availability of facilities and infrastructure. Therefore, efforts to improve cadre performance should adopt a comprehensive approach.   Abstrak.
