Motivation and development of employees on the example of companies from different sectors

Original language description

The present article focused on the issue of employee motivation. The aim of the article was to compare the conditions and factors of employees’ motivation in the two chosen fields and to find out whether the field of activity is one of the factors that influence how employees can be motivated and possibly developed, or whether employees’ development will be a motivating factor in both fields. In order to fulfill the aim of the article, the text was divided into a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, the concepts of motivation and employees’ development and their interrelation were explained on the basis of the study of the literature. It was followed by the practical part in which the questionnaire survey made with employees of two different fields was interpreted. Their responses were then commented upon and conclusions drawn in relation to the stated aim of the research and the article as a whole. The work motivation of employees, although highly individual, tends to have certain specificities. Nevertheless, the research found that there are quite significant differences between the IT and hospitality respondents in terms of what motivates them. The only thing they agreed on was the most important motivating factor, namely the appreciation and praise of the management. At the same time, however, the respondents ranked this motivating factor as the least sufficient. In addition, the IT respondents indicated that non-financial motivation was more important to them, but for the hospitality respondents – it seemed to be more financial motivation. However, there was a consensus when it came to development and education. For most respondents, the opportunity to learn and develop presents a significant motivating factor. However, the respondents from the hospitality industry indicated that they lacked this motivating factor which presents one additional opportunity for remediation in the future. Obviously, the findings of this survey should be viewed with limitations related not only to the number of respondents, but also to the fact that only two industries are being compared. In the future, it would certainly be advisable to include more fields in the research for better comparison and to monitor more variables (e.g. location - village or city; age of respondents, gender, etc.). Nevertheless, based on the results of the survey, it is possible to conclude that employees’ motivation can be not only individual, but also industry-specific, and when trying to design the best possible motivation and benefits system, it is appropriate to consider the needs of employees in that particular industry.
