In the world of business and the organization of human resources, motivation is one of the key principles. Why certain people do something automatically, we could explain it as passion and desire to achieve goals. The goals should be aligned with the motive. Understanding what can move and motivate people the most in the workplace depends on a number of factors. It can be personality, the concept of work or the organization itself. Motivational processes are the subject of human behavior and sometimes it is not entirely clear to us what actually pushes us towards a goal. Is it internal dissatisfaction or encouragement from others? Precisely because it becomes a much more complex question, we will try to analyze the survey research and explain the exact factors in more detail. We will explain the psychology of motivation, its action and persistence. Rewarding can be one of the recognition factors for our engagement and effort and can contribute to greater motivation. We will also explain the unavoidable managerial guidance and the laws that have been observed through research. Once motivation is established, it will not last long and needs to be renewed. A sure way to good leadership is good organization, experience and education. Once we learn to practice our self-awareness, we will have greater compassion for others and develop stronger relationships with our team. In the end, motivation will lead us to a successful goal, and it will be the factor of success.
