Abstract

Nowadays different variables considered to be of extreme importance for team performance and effectiveness are intensively studied. Among them, motivation has a special role. But in many papers, it is analysed the team motivation as a whole, and not individual motivation. In this situation, in the present paper we analyse individual motivation of members who have to undertake and accomplish complex tasks which are specific to work team. We distinguished between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, both theoretically and using statistical analyses in order to find out which categories are on highest order for employees, members of teams that works on business and management projects in Romanian consulting SMEs. As a result, we found a hierarchisation of individual needs in work team context that is different from classic models, as well an unexpected place and importance for extrinsic motivation in overall motivation of team members.
