Abstract
The current paper is aimed at investigating and proving the link between motivation and various outcomes such as – a propensity for staying in the company; psychological tension among employees; pride of working in the current company; engagement; work satisfaction; initiative in work. Our main goal is to prove the direct link between, the so-called “match factor” and the work outcomes. The study was held in the form of a survey among two groups, totalling 596 respondents in various sectors of the economy. And the results were tested with regression analysis for proving a significant influence of the match factor. Based on the result testing, we concluded that there is a direct link between motivation and work outcomes.Keywords
