Using job characteristics theory and self-determination theory, which are motivation theories, I examined the work motivation of senior medical professionals. It was suggested that these two motivation theories have a high affinity because they can indicate the strength and position of work motivation by MPS of job characteristics theory and RAI of self-determination theory. The quantitative survey is verified by multivariate analysis and path analysis using 596 samples obtained from questionnaires. As a result, it was suggested that there is work motivation generated by going back and forth between two motivation theories. It was suggested that the work motivation of senior medical professionals is strongly influenced by occupational identity, and that it is an important variable that generates autonomy, desire for growth, and organizational commitment. Based on these, I will consider measures to maintain work motivation and play an active role even if medical professionals become elderly human resources.
