EVALUATION AND MOTIVATION

OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Lucian GUGA1

Abstract: Why do we need motivated employees? The answer is survival.

Motivated employees are needed in our rapidly changing workplaces.

Motivated employees help organizations survive. Motivated employees are

more productive. To be effective, managers need to understand what

motivates employees within the context of the roles they perform.

Key words: Swot analysis, companies, questionnaire, hierarchy,

motivational theories.

1. Introduction

There is an old saying you can take a

horse to the water but you cannot force it

to drink; it will drink only if it is thirsty –

so with people. They will do what they

want to do or they must be motivated to do

what they are required to. In order to excel

in the workplace they must be motivated or

driven to it, either on their own or through

an external stimulus.

For a better understanding of the

elements that influence the individual

behaviour, in working groups and at the

level of the organization, I will present a

“model of the principal interest variables”
