In order to attract new employees to the organization/company, but also to retain existing employees and allow them to grow within the organization/company, it is necessary to know what motivates the employees to achieve better results. Desired results can be achieved by the means of long-term monitoring and identification of all the factors which influence the motivation and satisfaction of employees and also by investing in the employees. In order to acquire relevant data about influence of motivational factors on employees' satisfaction in private or public sector, the author of the work has opted for a survey research via questionnaire.
