Literature analysis reviews concept of employees motivation, presents the main tools and methods that are being used in the market, indicates Gen Y and Gen Z characteristics and what motivates them at work. Literature analysis also shows how personality types can be used to motivate different employees. After the literature analysis the author has carried out the study about currently offered benefits in the market to test how these benefits meet the needs of Gen Y and Gen Z employees. 352 respondents have presented their answers with fully completed questioners. The main purpose of this questioner was to test if Gen Y and Gen Z feel motivated by currently offered benefits in the market and which of those have the largest impact on them. The results of the research were statistically processed with the SPSS programme. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was used to determine the alignment of the Likert scales’; in all cases, it was higher than 0.6, which indicates that the scales used were consistent. In order to establish a correlation, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used. Researched revealed that currently offered benefits do not fully meet the needs of employees and therefor it needs to be improved. Research have also revealed that there is a link between needs and personality types and that people from the same generation, but with different personality type can have a different needs and motivators. The conclusions and recommendations summarize the main concepts of literature analysis as well as the results of the performed research. The author believes that the results of the study could give useful guidelines to the companies that are willing to upgrade their benefit packages as this could help control employees motivation and possibly lower retention rates within the organization. |
