Motivation of manufacturing personnel in the field of business

Abstract

In the Republic of Moldova, the analyzed footwear enterprise is known as a brand that produces and sells footwear for the whole family, with an experience of more than 70 years of activity. Over the years, this has been noted by the quality of the footwear and the variety of models for all ages. Analyzing the evolution of the company's staff between 2016-2017, there is a decrease in the number of employees. In 2017 there are 129 fewer people than in 2016. Reducing the number of employees is a consequence of the reduction in production volume. In order not to use the forced redundancy procedure, which involves additional personnel costs (redundancy and time-outs), the company redirected part of the workers to other employers and most of them retired were convinced to resign. Only a small number of people left the job on their own initiative, the main reason being the unsatisfactory salary. In the study, in order to evaluate employees' satisfaction with the existing motivation system, the questioning of employees was made. The questionnaire consists of 14 items, being closed questions with multiple responses that allow the respondent to choose from a predefined list the variants that best define their preferences. The survey was attended by 35 employees, out of 135 directly productive.
