Determining factors of motivation in companies

Abstract

Figuring out the motivating factors of employees is increasingly important in companies. This is due to it becoming popular to switch jobs more frequently. If the company was able to raise the motivation levels of its employees, it could lower the turnover of employees in the company, which in turn can save valuable resources. In this paper we choose one company and interview their employees to get a first-hand look into the motives of its works and what they really value in their employer and the company they work in. A total of six people are interviewed for the results of this paper. Former and current employees are interviewed to receive fair results. Through this research we find that salary, the colleagues and the relationship with superiors are the main contributing factors to motivation and have the most effect on motivation.
