Abstract

Studying motivation and the motives that make people act in a certain way has a fundamental importance in the management of human resources. The whole human behaviour has a cause, which is a consequence of hereditary combination and development. At the basis of human behaviour there are the needs, wishes and motives. People try to fulfil certain objectives or purposes, which when reached will satisfy their needs. Of course, all the people in the organization participate in fulfilling them, each person with a different intensity. If we were to arrange the employees after their intensity with which they participate in fulfilling the companies’ objectives, then at the peak of the pyramid would be those who act with the most intensity to realize the objectives and at the bottom of the pyramid would be those who act with very little intensity. That is why managers of a company must identify motivational factors which make individuals who are at the bottom of the pyramid want to take more initiative to reach a higher performance level.
