Impact of the Perception of Work and Professional Aspirations on the Involvement of Medical Staff at Cocody University Hospital (Abidjan)

Based on the theories of social representations and expectations, this study analyzes the factors influencing the involvement in the work of the medical personnel and more particularly the midwives of the Cocody Hospital. Following a survey of 80 midwives using a questionnaire, those with a favorable perception of work are more involved in work than their counterparts who have an unfavorable perception. Similarly, midwives who nurture a strong occupational aspiration are also more involved in performing their function compared to their pairs who develop rather a low occupational aspiration.
