The aim of this paper is to identify the most important
motivational factors for Slovak employees in 2015. The relevant
data was sourced using the questionnaire method. For data
processing purposes, the descriptive method was used as well as
statistical analysis. The calculated level of p - significance
for the different motivational factors was calculated by
utilising the T - test. The definition of the differences in
the average level of importance of individual motivational
factors is the result of the research. The obtained results
allowed us to define which motivational factors affect the
performance of the Slovak employees. On this basis, for Slovak
companies, it is possible to design a uniform motivational
program that will suit the majority of their employees. Under
specific conditions, the local analyses can be more effective
and their results can slightly differ from the general average.
It is also possible that the motivational requirements of
employees will change if their needs are satisfied. For this
reason, according to the possibilities of the enterprise, it is
recommended to update the motivational programs continuously.
