Tiivistelmä
One of the purposes of this research was to explore the topics of employee motivation and job satisfaction along with finding out key motivational factors for employees in two case companies. The idea behind the thesis was to check whether Frederick Herzberg’s opinion regarding money not being the most important motivating factor at work is applicable to the two case companies.
The author attempted to answer the following questions:
- Which motivators affect job performance and employee satisfaction the most?
- Is there an interdependency between job satisfaction and performance at a workplace?
For this study, a deductive approach and a qualitative method of data collection were used.
The key finding of this research is that money is not the most important motivator at a workplace, but recognition, positive work atmosphere and good relationships with colleagues are.
