This study examined the relationship between workplace support, role acceptance, and work motivation of infection control link nurses. Workplace support was to mean support from nurse managers and certified infection control nurses. This study targeted link nurses who belonged to facilities with 300 or more beds and had certified nurses in infection control. A total of 3018 link nurses were questioned and surveyed. We received 1479 responses, out of which 950 were valid. Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis analyzed the relationship among basic attributes, workplace support, role acceptance, and work motivation. In addition, multiple regression analyses were conducted with basic attributes and workplace support subscale scores as explanatory variables and role acceptance and work motivation subscale scores as the objective variables. Evaluative and instrumental support from the head nurse, evaluative and informational support from a certified infection control nurse over 40, and one year of experience as a link nurse influenced role satisfaction. Evaluative support from the head nurse, informational support from a certified infection control nurse, at least 15 years of nursing experience, and >17 years of experience in the department were the influencing factors for role evaluation. Influencing factors for motivation toward the current job were informational support from certified infection control nurses, >2 years of experience as a link nurse, and motivation. The nurse manager's evaluative support, certified infection control nurse's informational support, age over 40, and motivation influenced future motivation toward work. The workplace support provided by head nurses and certified infection control nurses differed in their impact on role acceptance and workplace motivation of infection control link nurses. This suggests that it is important for both to provide the necessary support.
