Abstract

The goal of this paper is to find out what qualities of the manager have influence on the employee’s motivation level. For the purpose of this article the survey was conducted on employees of the financial sector companies. Statistical tests and logistic regression were used to verify the hypothesis about the importance of specific factors connected with professional work and employees’ motivation. In particular, it has been shown that the most important factors include, among others, atmosphere at work and the level of managerial and technical competence of the immediate superior. The limited availability of respondents did not allow an extensive analysis of the superior’s qualities, hence it is necessary to deepen this study.
