At the field of motivation and more specifically motivation of the employees has already been made a lot of researchry, although this area still remains a big mystery. The efficiency and satisfaction of the employees are connected to their motivation for work. The purpose of this thesis is to study the motivation of the employees on theoretical bases, throughtout the motivational history since the beginning of the 20th century until the modern methods of motivating employees and to discover the influence of the motivational factors on the employees at The Statistical Office of Republic of Slovenia (SURS). Aiming at high efficiency companies have already done many studies about it, but since now it hasnt been done at SURS.
The goal of this thesis is to analyse the results of the research, quote the most important findings and based on them make the propositions for the leadership of SURS, so that they can improve the employees motivation and with that their efficiency. In the empiric part of the thesis was made the quantitative research based on taken surveys, with which the hypotheses were either confirmed or refuted.
First hypothesis saying that the most important factor, which influences the motivation of the employees at SURS is the safety of having the job, was discerned, while the second one that the intrinsic motivational factors are more important than the extrinsic ones for the employees at SURS was confirmed. The third one stating that employees at SURS arent satisfied with the actual system of rewards was confirmed as well.
Based on analysis of the motivation of the employees at SURS we can see which are the most important factors that influence them. Furthermore we can observe that they arent content with the existing system of rewards and what the propositions to make it better are. How to motivate the employees is actually not so obvious, since every person needs a different stimulation. According to this we have to know exactly what is that motivates employees the most, because on the contrary we can even destroy the motivation with the wrongful approach.
