Exploring the factors that affect employees non-financial motivation in Moldova’s private sector 143<br />

tor. Also, in order to prove the hypotheses proposed in the literature review were used correlation<br />

analysis. Finally, the last SPSS tool is multiple linear regression, which was applied<br />

to explore motivational factors that have greater contribution on employees performance.<br />

Data analysis and results<br />

In order to validate the factors that were included in the research model were composed<br />

construct validity (Table III). According to Williams et al., (2012) the Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin<br />

(KMO) measure of sampling adequacy and Barlett’s test of sphericity are two tests recommended<br />

to be used in construct validity. Additionally, Tavakol and Dennick (2011) claim that<br />

Cronbach’s alpha test is commonly used when research is based on Likert items in questionnaire,<br />

and it measures reliability. Moreover, the total variance explained (TVE) shows the<br />

percentage of the common variance.<br />

As it can be observed from Table, all factors have KMO equal or above the 0.5. Moreover,<br />

Cronbach’s alpha is above the 0,6 for almost all factors, just work itself and teamwork<br />

are under 0.6, having 0.427 and respectively 0.534. Also, the Barlett’s test of sphericity is<br />

satisfactory, being below the threshold of 0.05. The TVE shows acceptable results, having<br />

percentage above 50. During the analysis only four items out of 55 items were dropped, showing<br />

that factor loadings for all items are at satisfactory level. Table III presents the means of<br />

all factors, and these means vary from 3.5 to 4.5 on five-point scale. Therefore, it can be generalized<br />

that participants in the survey are satisfied or have positive perception about motivational<br />

factors within their organizations.<br />

Further, it can be said that employees are mostly motivated being involved in teamwork.<br />

According to Kalisch et al., (2007) employees appreciate opportunity to work in a team. Communication<br />

within organization represents other important motivator for employees, which<br />

claim that organizational goals are clear and fully explained. Additionally, the sense of achievement<br />

shows high overall mean, supporting the idea that employees get motivated when they<br />

acquire new knowledge that help them in tasks accomplishment (Dysvik and Kuvaas, 2008).<br />

Creativity is other factor that has significant influence on employees motivation, especially<br />

employees are satisfied when managers allow them to come up with new and practical ideas<br />

to improve performance. Moreover, the high mean of job engagement shows that employees<br />

who participated in the research devote a lot of energy and enthusiasm to their work, as Langelaan<br />

et al., (2006) state.
