Tiivistelmä
Motivating employees has been many researcher and entrepreneurs’ concern for decades. It’s essential in order to achieve the company strategic goals. Especially for small and medium sized companies, motivated employees can make company significantly difference. Therefore, motivating and retaining talents are important topics which are cores for business excellence. This Bachelor thesis is a study into the talent management and motivation theories based on the SMEs human resource situation in China.
The aim and purpose of this study were to find out whether employees of the case company are motivated or not, to determine the factors that motivate them at work and investigating on how to develop their potentialities. As case company is a small private culture and media company, currently economy changes very fast, the organizational changes might influence the case company employees’ motivation, and that is why I would like to investigate this important topic.
The thesis used both qualitative and quantitative research methods. I used the data collected from the previous questionnaires in my thesis and used the information collected from the telephone interviews to exam the talent management and motivation related study.
The general analysis on current SMEs in China helped leading to the case company HR situation study. It’s covered by chapter 4 and 5. To solve the issues existing in the case company, there are four talent management strategies to apply - attracting talents, selecting talents, developing talents and retaining talents. Although all of them are very important in the successful talent management, here I would strongly suggest that case company emphasize more the talent retention in building up effective talent management strategies. In part 6, summary on research findings, the thesis examined part of the previous general questionnaire result which is related to training and developing, and rewards. Based on the research result, I developed a new questionnaire emphasizing in the factors which affect the most employees’ motivation for case company, likely to be used at the end of 2014.
This thesis suggested the case company could do more improvement on employee recognition, creating a cordial environment at the workplace, hiring the right person, doing regular performance review and performance appraisals to keep employees stick to the company. Use transparent salary policy to avoid confusions later on. Besides, the company’s rules and regulations should be made to benefit the employees not only restricting them.
