Employee work motivation is a crucial element in determining the quality of public services, especially in the health sector. This study aims to analyze factors related to employee work motivation at the Health, Population Control, and Family Planning Office of Marowali Regency. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 39 respondents selected through the purposive sampling method. The research instrument is in the form of a structured questionnaire, and data analysis is carried out bivariously using the chi-square test and Fisher's Exact Test if the test assumptions are not met. The results showed that the work environment did not have a significant relationship with work motivation (p = 0.129). In contrast, the benefits variable showed a significant relationship (p = 0.009), and workload also had a significant effect on work motivation (p = 0.004). These findings indicate that employees' work motivation is significantly influenced by benefits and workload factors, while the work environment does not have a significant impact. The practical implication of this study is the need for managerial attention to a fair incentive system and a proportionate distribution of workload to increase employee work motivation. Increasing work motivation is expected to encourage the efficiency and effectiveness of public services in the health sector. This research contributes to the development of evidence-based human resource policies in the regional health service sector.

Animation has transcended its traditional association with children’s entertainment and emerged as a dynamic global medium that resonates with audiences across age groups. Beyond its role as a form of visual amusement, animation demonstrates significant potential in conveying meaningful narratives and creating emotional engagement through carefully crafted aesthetic experiences. A central element in the animation process is character design, where the combination of shape, color, and expression not only determines visual appeal but also functions as a medium for reflecting personality and emotional depth. This study aims to investigate the relationship between personal interests and personality traits in shaping visual preferences toward animation illustrations among children and adults. Through a literature review, the research highlights how individual interests—deeply influenced by developmental needs, social environment, and past experiences—play a crucial role in guiding aesthetic choices. Findings suggest that children are typically drawn to characters with simplified forms, bright and saturated colors, and exaggerated expressions that facilitate recognition, comprehension, and emotional connection. Conversely, adults tend to prefer more complex designs, incorporating nuanced emotional cues, realistic proportions, and layered symbolism that align with mature cognitive and emotional processing. The comparison underscores the importance of audience segmentation in animation design, particularly in creating characters that are not only visually engaging but also resonate with psychological and emotional expectations. By recognizing and addressing the distinct preferences of different age groups, animators and illustrators can develop content that is more contextually relevant, immersive, and capable of fostering long-term audience attachment. Ultimately, this study emphasizes that effective animation character design extends beyond technical artistry; it requires a deep understanding of human psychology, cultural influences, and the evolving nature of visual engagement across the lifespan.
