In this paper the emphasis is on the results of the quantitative phase - the second test survey.

In the second test survey, 3 factors are formed through which the factors of work commitment and motivation of employees are presented according to 'on work relations and cooperation', 'working conditions' and 'opportunities for work self-realization'. Organization: Assessing the work commitment and motivation of employees for the organization, on the one hand, is a starting point for concrete work in the field of development human resources, and on the other hand, information on possible weaknesses that need to be strengthened to improve the competitive position. Society: Employed and motivated individuals are the bearer of development and productivity and the search for more optimal solutions in a constantly changing business and social environment. Originality: The contribution of this study is twofold - methodological and practical. The developed questionnaire offers practitioners, experts and researchers the possibility of using a scale designed and tested in our environment for practical use in the HR activities of the organization as well as for the purpose of further research.
