This document summarizes research into employee motivation in the workplace. A questionnaire found that most respondents were women aged 26-40 who felt motivation was important. While 70% were happy in their current job, only 60% felt motivated in their last job, suggesting demotivated employees change jobs. Employees are most motivated by feeling valued, given responsibilities, and having an understanding employer who provides flexibility. The conclusion recommends managers understand individual motivations to increase productivity and potential. Motivated employees will work efficiently to support company goals.
