    ENGLISH SUMMARY: The choice of and motivation for the study is to determine which factors have a demotivational effect on social workers employed by the South African Police Service (SAPS). Practical experience indicates that these social workers display a general attitude of being demotivated. It is of critical importance that members from this unit should be motivated and enthusiastic, enabling them to be of optimal service to the personnel of the SAPS. As part of this study emphasis has been placed on literature concerning motivation and theories of motivation, as well as factors which have a demotivational effect on employees, in particular members of the helping professions. These stressors, as identified, are subsequently linked to occupational social workers who are employed by the SAPS. The aim of the empirical study is to determine which factors de motivate these social workers. The data and accompanying results, as gathered from the empirical study, clearly indicates that specific de motivators are present among the social workers. The identified de motivators confirm data as discussed in the chapters which contain the literature study. The suggestion emanating from the results of the research is that the management component of Social Work Services: SAPS should, as a matter of urgency, initiate a proactive as well as a reactive strategy on the basis of the data presented.
