Performance Analysis of Motivation in Public Administration

Motivation and employee satisfaction are key areas of interest in modern management of human resources, because only the construction of a good motivational system can help the organization to increase its competitive ability and value of the company. Employee motivation is not only the area of psychological and sociological problems of work and work behavior, but the behavior directed toward a goal that excites the needs caused by the man, and the goal is to satisfy the needs. Croatian public administration operates in the transition area and the still insufficient attention is given to the organizational culture and ethics, there is no elaborate system of internal control, employment is affected by policy, promotion system has not worked out, and training is insufficient and occasional. Officials apparently have difficulties to realize their needs in terms of inability to progress, non-stimulating income and low respect. The study involved 534 employees of public services in the Republic of Croatia, by simple random selection through written surveys, where respondents were asked to assess the importance of each factor of motivation for work. Results of this study show that the amount of salary is the main motivating factor for employment in public administration, but that after the employment other motivational factors become important such as advancement opportunities, achievement of goals and good working conditions. This study confirmed that there is a statistically significant difference in motivational factors with respect to the place of work in public administration.
