Abstract: Motivation and satisfaction factors of civil servants are important elements that determine their work performance. This paper aims to analyze some aspects of civil service satisfaction, motivating factors, quality of service relationships at the level of local public administration in Romania. The analysis performed by applying a questionnaire to civil servants from local public administration revealed that the factor that induces the least satisfaction to the civil servants from local public administration is the quality of wage system in the public administration. Equally, employees in the public administration pointed out that political pressure pressure is an element that provides a low degree of satisfaction. By contrast, a high degree of satisfaction is provided by factors such as attention from colleagues, from the management of the institution, and workplace conditions. The most important motivation factor for the civil servants is a better recognition by the society of the importance of work. By contrast, the prospect of a successful career in the public and competition at the institution level for quality work is the most unimportant factors in motivating civil servants. Surprisingly, the salary is only the sixth motivator, even if the monthly income of civil servants is below their expectations. The results obtained from processing data sets highlight also positive aspects about the quality of relations in the civil service within local public administration in Romania.
