Abstract

This research was conducted to establish and analyze motivation factors in
wood processing and furniture manufacturing companies in the Republic
of Croatia. Research was conducted during the year 2006 using method of
survey. In three survey questionnaires a total of 58 questions were asked.
A total of 800 production workers and 60 management and administrative
employees were surveyed in 3 companies. The most important factor for
production workers were good social conditions, while for management
and administrative employees the most important factor was a good
company reputation. Production workers were satisfied with employment
assurance, while management and administrative employees were satisfied
with employment assurance and good company name. Both production
workers and management are most displeased with their salaries and
with possibilities for those salaries to grow. Production results are highly
dependable on motivation factors, so this kind of research is necessary if
wood processing and furniture manufacturing companies want to increase
production results and competitive strength on the international market.
