Zkoumání vlivu motivace na produktivitu práce ve vybrané společnosti

Abstract

This bachelor’s thesis examines the impact of motivation on the productivity of employees within a specific company. The objective of this study is twofold: firstly, to analyse the relationship between the level of motivation among employees and their work productivity; and secondly, to assess the differences in the perception of work factors among the different groups of respondents. The theoretical component of the study focuses on the conceptualisation of the terms 'productivity in employment' and 'employee motivation', as well as an overview of selected motivational theories. The practical element is founded upon a quantitative investigation conducted by means of a questionnaire among the company's personnel. The data obtained were processed using the mean values of the Likert scale and the contingency tables. The findings of the study demonstrate that internal motivation among employees is perceived more favourably than external motivation and is identified as a significant factor in determining job productivity. Externally-driven motivational factors demonstrate greater variability in their evaluation and suggest the presence of potential areas for improvement, particularly in the domains of remuneration and benefits. In view of the findings, a series of recommendations have been proposed with the objective of enhancing motivation and thereby increasing the productivity of employees.
