NON-NATIVE EMPLOYEES’ OPINION ON MOTIVATION FACTORS OF GERMAN COLLEAGUES WORKING AT MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES Abstract: This study contributes to the identification of factors that motivate German employees working at multinational companies. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents. The questionnaire is the result of the qualitative research, which used primary and secondary sources. The author has conducted the primary research between 1st of January, 2016 and 31st of March, 2017 in various countries. In this period 14 different cultures, twelve Europeans and two Asians, were discovered during 258 one-on-one interviews. Secondary data were collected from books, textbooks, scientific magazines, online articles, presentations and speeches. This paper presents the latest results of an ongoing quantitative research on the field of motivation factors of employees working at multinational companies. The major implication of the study is that setting standards and defining HR policies taking into consideration the evaluated motivation factors help strengthen employee’s motivation and create sustainable bonds between employee and company. Motivation is in the centerpiece of HR policies of multinational organizations. Many companies are strong at attracting talents, but many fail to retain new hires. Digital transformation disrupts the workplace and motivation of talented employees becomes critical for the sustainable future of the companies. As of 20th November 2018, 101 people evaluated the 16 motivation factors identified in the German profile. This article presents the respondents' feedbacks and thus contributes to the search for scarce “Industry-4.0-minded talents”, where companies need to build new understanding of motivation factors of their own and their future employees. Keywords: Cross-Cultural Communication, Human Resource Management, Motivation, Motivation Factors, Multinational Companies, International Project Management Journal: Eurasian Journal of Social Sciences
