Aim: The research deals with the rate of burnout syndrome, motivation factors of Herzberg's two-factor motivation theory and their mutual relation in general nurses working in the University Hospital Olomouc. The aim was to identify personal priorities among hygiene factors with general nurses and the degree of their saturation by the employer. Comparison of the findings clearly shows the biggest divergence between wishes and reality of the working environment of general nurses and the relation to burnout syndrome.

Methods: A quantitative approach was chosen for the research. To collect data, two questionnaires were used: a standardised MBI (Maslach Burnout inventory) and a non-standardised Motivation factors questionnaire, which was on the principles of Herzberg's motivation theory after several discussions with hospital management.

Results: The result of the survey research revealed an existing, statistically significant relation between the burnout syndrome rate and the degree of dissatisfaction with hygiene factors according to Herzberg's theory. The assumption about the existence of a significant negative relation between burnout syndrome rate and salary was not confirmed. Factors of salary care for the patient and job security occupy the top levels on the preference list. The most diverging factors include salary and job security. The results confirm the protective effect the saturation of Herzberg's hygiene factors has on the burnout syndrome rate.

Conclusion: The survey research confirmed the importance of saturating hygiene factors as a protective factor against burnout syndrome. It has been confirmed that an increasing saturation decreases the burnout syndrome rate in general nurses in University Hospital Olomouc.

Keywords: general nurse, motivation, burnout, Herzberg theory
