Abstract: The employees’ motivation in the workplace was and still is present for many specialists in from the organizational psychology which continues to explore how we relate to our work and what really motivates us. Although literature offers a wide range of definitions in the process of motivation in the end they all converge on the same content. In everyday language, by reasoning it is understood "the why" for which an action is performed. The cause is a compulsion, desire, energy, envy. Meeting the needs will be done in a certain priority, specific to each individual. To be motivated it must be: a goal to be achieved, a direction of action, an excitement state, feelings that will generate efforts to achieve the goal. The most plausible explanation regarding the motivation is given by Anthony Bagshawe said that "motivation is something that drives us to do what we do." Motivation has always been a complex and delicate issue of great subtlety. It consists in discovering and exploitation of the internal resources of people and identification ways to make them work better and to spend energy more efficiently.
