Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of the research conducted was to identify the motivators influencing the work of employees and to assess the impact of the level of employee motivation on the results obtained by organisations based in Poland. Design/Methodology/Approach: Employees of organisations based in Poland were selected to carry out the research process. The research was conducted based on the survey method, while the research tool was survey questionnaires, constructed from closed questions. The surveys were conducted anonymously. The survey was made available through Google Forms. In addition, a pilot face-to-face interview was conducted among the selected survey participants, which allowed the pre-prepared survey to be detailed. The adoption of these research techniques allowed the collection of statistical (quantitative, economic data) and qualitative (perceptions, value judgements, evaluations, opinions, awareness of facts) material. Findings: The research confirmed that, in addition to financial motivators, high levels of employee motivation are also influenced by job stability, independence, the opportunity to be creative and a friendly atmosphere in the workplace. The research also confirmed that highly motivated employees show higher work efficiency and care more about the quality of their products or services, which positively strengthens the organisation's credibility and position as a stable employer. Practical Implications: The article sheds light on the relationship between the level of employee motivation and its impact on organisational performance. Originality/Value: The article presents the results of a study on the evaluation of the impact of the level of motivation on the results achieved by organisations in Poland.
