The results of the study indicate that: (1) workload has a positive and significant effect on the performance of health workers (B = 0.629; sig. = 0.000); (2) professionalism has a positive and significant effect on the performance of health workers (B = 0.311; sig. =0.023); (3) incentives do not have a positive and significant effect on the performance of health workers (B = 0.043; sig. =0.627); (4) work motivation does not have a positive and significant effect on the performance of health workers (B = -0.145; sig. =0.326); and (5) workload, professionalism, incentives, and work motivation simultaneously have a positive and significant influence on the performance of health workers (F =15,487; sig. = 0.000).
