Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify key motivational factors that influence employee engagement in agile organizations and analyze their significance in the context of flexibility and professional development. The study aims to better understand which elements of the motivational system are most important for increasing employee effectiveness and supporting innovation in dynamic work environments. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a survey method, conducted on a sample of 740 respondents in the period January-March 2023. Analysis of correlations between the assessed motivational factors allowed for determining the interdependencies between various elements of the motivational system, which enabled the selection of the most important motivators. Findings: The research results indicate that, in addition to remuneration, flexible working hours and opportunities for professional development, including training and a clearly defined career path, are of key importance to employees. The attractiveness of the role performed and a sense of autonomy also play a significant role in building employee engagement in agile organizations, while material benefits, such as a company car, are of lesser importance. Practical Implications: The article provides practical advice for managers and leaders of agile organizations on how to design effective motivational systems that increase employee engagement and satisfaction. The study results can be used to optimize motivational strategies, which can contribute to improving operational efficiency and long-term development of the organization. Originality/Value: The article brings new value to the literature on motivation in agile organizations, especially in the context of changing work conditions and the growing need for flexibility. The originality of the study lies in the detailed analysis of motivational preferences of employees in dynamic structures and in identifying motivational elements that have the greatest impact on their engagement and effectiveness.
