Summary
The management of peoples motivation and efficacy are strategic issues for all organizations that use human resources. Influencing work motivation is a matter for the human resources department of a company, and for managers at all company management levels. Given the rising costs of labour, a successful company must fully use the potential of its employees and motivate them to deliver the best work performance possible. The responsibility (read: mission) of every company should be to provide its employees with a suitable incentive system that satisfies their employees and contributes to improving their performance and the achievement of the set goals
