Abstract

This research studies the peculiarities of public sector employee motivation in Israel in relation to their job position and education. This empirical research (585 participants) shows that management personnel are characterized by a strong need for power and the need for a sense of demand. Non-managerial staff has a stronger need for good working conditions, structuring of work, and the need for social contacts. There are significant differences in motivation depending on the level of education of the employee. The need for good working conditions is stronger in the groups among employees with secondary and junior engineering education than among employees with an academic degree. The need for a structuring of work and social contacts is stronger among employees with a junior engineering education compared with the employees who have an academic degree.
