Job satisfaction and motivation of public sector employees

Satisfied and well-motivated employees are an integral part of every institution. Only in this way can the organization and the employee grow up. In this work I analyze job satisfaction and motivation of employees in public administration. I also analyze current ways of evaluating and motivating employees. I am finding out which motivational tools are currently the most effective in public administration. In the theoretical part, I define the terms that will help to better understand the whole topic and introduce the basic theories of work motivation and satisfaction. I also focus on legislation and evaluate the conditions of Czech legislation, within which frame the performance of employees is evaluated and whether it is possible to provide effective motivation in these conditions. Furthermore, based on the proffesional literature, I summarize current trends in the evaluation and motivation of employees. I deal with the differences between the public and the private sector and define the employment relationship in public administration. The essence of the practical part is the analysis of work motivation and satisfaction of public administration employees. I do this in the form of a questionnaire survey, which is attended by employees across public administration institutions. Based on the obtained data, I evaluate individual areas of job satisfaction, evaluation of employees and their motivation. In my conclusion, I propose specific recommendations that can help improve job satisfaction, motivation and evaluation of public administration employees.
