Abstract

The problem of differences of labour motivation in public sector institutions in Israel is discussed in relation to the age and job seniority of the employees. The motivation structure of public sector employees is presented from the perspective of the 12-factor motivation theory developed by Sh. Ritchi and P. Martin. The concept of labour motivation has been viewed from different perspectives, and key factors of motivation of public sector employees have been allocated. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors of the state service workers have been discussed. Based on the above, this empirical research was conducted among the 585 people aged 18 to 65 working in public institutions in Israel. The structure of the motivation sphere of the employees was studied from the perspective of the 12-factor motivation theory. Statistical analysis shows that there are differences in the level of motivation depending on the employee’s age and job seniority. Intrinsic motivation factors, such as structuring of work, social contacts, diversity and change, and the need for selfimprovement, growth, and development appear to be stronger among older employees. The results contribute to the development of work motivation plans for the employees and help to understand the key factors of public sector employee performance.
