Sažetak
Human resources are the bearers of all business activities in the company and are needed to carry out all business processes, realize the vision and mission of the company, retain new customers and attract existing customers or clients. Only satisfied employees will give the maximum in their jobs. Dissatisfied employees will not be in the service of achieving the company's business goals. Managers should be aware of the importance of human resources in companies in which they are leaders, establish constant care for human resources, monitor the work of employees, praise their efforts and ultimately reward the most successful employees. The aim of this paper is to find out whether employees are satisfied with the working conditions in their workplaces, whether they receive praise for their efforts and commitment in the workplace from their employer, whether they are dissatisfied with their jobs and how the employer could motivate them at work. 39.6% of respondents would change their current job and a high percentage of respondents (48.4%) would resign from their current job in the event of a better business offer from another employer. 49.1% of employees are dissatisfied with the organization of the number of trainings and seminars by their employer, while 45.1% of employees stated that they do not have the possibility of promotion. Only 22.3% of employees are satisfied with their current job. According to employees, in the first place as a motivating factor is a high salary (31.8%), then the empathy of employers towards employees, praise for the work of employees by the employer, then all other motivating factors. The leading reason for employee dissatisfaction in private and state- owned companies in the Republic of Croatia in their jobs, according to employees, is low wages (15.4%), followed by high stress (13.5%) and incorrect superiors (12.8%), followed by all other factors. There is no statistically significant difference according to gender in the attitudes of the respondents about the change of the current job. Recommendations for employers are to increase the salaries of employees, to enable the advancement of employees and to show respect to employees, recognition for their work and effort and showing empathy towards employees, because this is what they wish for.
