Assessment of the company’s motivation system in the employees’ perception – case study

Abstract

Nowadays, organizations through the appropriate motivational activities create employee behavior. They should apply available material and non-material incentives in a sustainable manner. Therefore, it is necessary to create such a motivation system within the organization’s activity that will generate employees’ right attitudes, beneficial for them and for the entire organization as well. The purpose of the work was to determine the employees’ subjective feelings related to motivational instruments used in the company. The research object was EnergiaPro S.A. with its registered seat in Wroclaw. The basic research technique was a survey, which was carried out anonymously among the employees of the administrative division. Research has shown that the company uses methods of material and non-material motivation. Employees particularly appreciate the system of cash incentives, especially bonuses. It is the motivator for them to work more efficiently. Not without significance for them is also non-cash motivating (training, social allowances and the use of additional leave). They have positive feelings about the correctness of the motivational methods used, although their expectations regarding cash motivation, especially salaries, are higher. They expect wage increases and fair awards, recognizing that this is a major problem in the company.
