Sažetak
In modern business circumstances in all types of organizations it is imperative to have motivated employees and use their full potential for the benefit of the organization. According to previous research, motivation and productivity are positively correlated, but employee motivation in state-owned enterprises differs from the private sector. Organizational characteristics of state-owned enterprises such as rigid structure, hierarchical authority, emphasizing the status quo, the absence of specific organizational goals, can have negative effects on job satisfaction and employee motivation. The empirical part of this paper consists of the results of a survey of employee attitudes related to satisfaction and motivation in their workplaces. Motivational factors are examined on a sample of 134 employees of the one of the Croatian state-owned railway firm. The aim of this paper is to further clarify the specificities of motivational factors in state-owned enterprises and to provide some guidelines that will help the management structure in managing human resources in state-owned enterprises.
