In Indonesia, Posyandu cadres play an essential role as agents of change in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates. This study aimed to analyze the motivation and rewards toward the activity of Posyandu cadres. The research design was cross-sectional, with the independent variables being the motivation and rewards of cadres and the dependent variable was the activity of Posyandu cadres. Collecting data used questionnaires and interviews and the data analysis used univariate and bivariate. The results of the study inform that most Posyandu cadres were not active in Posyandu activities and most of cadres have moderate motivation and insufficient rewards. This was caused by demographic factors, lack of rewards or incentives received, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of attention from the government and the community. Furthermore, there is an influence of motivation and rewards received by cadres toward the activity of Posyandu cadres. High motivation and adequate rewards will spur Posyandu cadres to increase their activities. Therefore, it is important to enhance the motivation and rewards by developing several strategies to increase the Posyandu cadre's activity. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
