A washing machine having a rotor directly connected to a rotary shaft. The driving motor includes a stator mounted to an outer surface of a water tub, and a rotor disposed around the stator while being directly connected to the rotary shaft, which is connected to a rotary tub. An insertion hole is formed at a center of the rotor, and a plurality of fitting holes are formed around the insertion hole. At an end of the rotary shaft is formed an inserting protrusion, which corresponds to the insertion hole. The rotor is fixed to the rotary shaft by inserting the inserting protrusion through the insertion hole. To the rotor is attached a reinforcing member having a plurality of fitting protrusions, which vertically extend such that the fitting protrusions are fitted into the fitting holes of the rotor, respectively, such that the strength of the rotor is increased.
