| Abstract [eng] |
The article focuses on the issue of employee retention in an enterprise as economic growth in Lithuania was still noticeable during the period of investigation (March- April, 2008). This growth was accompanied by overfull employment in the market which subsequently resulted in a tough competition among enterprises for human resources. In order to retain their employees, the executives were constantly raising the following questions: What are the means to make employees work effectively and devotedly? What work conditions should be created? What wages should be paid? How to promote and motivate the work of staff? What wage package to offer? All these issues were being solved by creating a unique motivation system for each organization. In the article, the employee promotion system is perceived comprehensively, i.e. as the entirety of groups of economic (wages, premiums, bonuses, etc.), juridical (working hours and relaxation time, entitlement to annual holidays, job safety instructions, etc.), psychological (work conditions, moral inducement, in-service training, career, etc.) and philosophical (involvement of employees in decision making, communication, feedback, etc.) factors of motivation. The study on assessment of the employee motivation system at the selected production enterprise, by means of which imperfections in the motivation system of the enterprise were identified, was carried out in the above mentioned directions. |
