Abstract

The paper aims to examine the impact of an enterprise size (by the number of employees) and the enterprise's industry on the level of using individual types of motivation factors. For the set goal, a questionnaire survey was selected, which was distributed to the research sample. The formulated research questions were answered using the statistical relationships of the Chi-squared test, Shapiro-Wilk test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. In terms of the enterprise size by the number of employees, the validity of the expected trend was confirmed, i.e., the level of using individual motivation factors grows with the number of employees; enterprises with 250 and more employees most use motivation factors. Most of these enterprises chose between 4 and 5 points on the 5-point scale where 1 indicates the lowest level, while 5 the highest level using motivation factors. In terms of classification by industry, the impact of industry on the level of using motivation factors was analysed. The highest level of using motivation factors was identified in enterprises focused on transportation and logistics. For these enterprises, the level of using motivation factors was even higher than in manufacturing enterprises or enterprises active in the services industry. Furthermore, the results show that regarding the classification of enterprises by the number of employees, only career and social motivation factors are statistically significant. Statistical significance was confirmed only for relational motivation factors in the classification of enterprises by industries.
