Assessment of the motivational potential of work in a company—research results

Abstract

The article aims to present a system for assessing the motivational potential of work in a company, but also to identify the innovation gap and indicate how to bridge it. The above measurement was carried out in aggregate form, consisting in combining particular assessment criteria. The study adopted hierarchical intervals of the model of motivational potential of work. The main research problem was formulated as the identification and assessment of the motivational potential of work in the studied company. The subject of the analysis were internal factors of the motivational potential of work, while their mutual reference is the activity and development of the company. The overall assessment of the motivational potential of the surveyed company is satisfactory, and even good, but the performance of the motivator criterion, i.e. work stability, praise, awards, recognition, training provided by the employer, flexible working hours, is poor. It is essential and possible to develop a method of diagnosing a system of motivating employees to work in a company whose subject and scope of research would include motivators, hygiene factors and demotivation factors. The practical results of these studies should be a premise for improving the incentive system and the basis for appropriate economic pragmatics.
