Summary/Abstract: Motivation is an inner force that drives a man to satisfy his needs and goals. During the process of motivating, every person needs to be well acquainted, because motivating is not only knowledge, but also a skill. Motivation is very important in all spheres of life, and also at work when we need to motivatie employees. It is often not easy to motivate employees in the right way. Motivated workers are working harder and settingbetter goals. The key to successful motivation is to get to know employees and their motivational factors.In organizations, motivation is often more important than strategically set goals and plans expressed in numbers, and managers and leaders have a task to recognize this. It is not easy for a leader of a team to easily motivate team members. They say that motivation lasts 3 to 5 days on average, so we ourselves conclude thatwe should be motivated more often. Everything is fine as long as someone is there to motivate us, and even better if we are strong enough to motivate ourselves. People these days are often motivated by money, while professional motivation is based on the need for learning, self-esteem, gaining status. A small number of managers realize the importance of motivation as a key element in raising productivity and efficiency, andthink that it is enough for the team members to set the goal.
