150 RESPONSIBLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The purpose of the research was to explore what motivational factors have the greatest
contribution on employees performance. Using SPSS linear regression analysis has been
observed five non-financial motivators that might explain employees performance. The
research results show that promotion opportunity, teamwork, sense of achievement, employees
empowerment, and job engagement are more appropriate motivation factors that predict
employees performance. As result, it can be said that improvement in these factors could probably
increase overall organizational performance.
Practical implication for the managers derived from the research suggest that employees
should be fairly treated, and have professional growth according to their achievements. Moreover,
being part of the team employees tend to get new information and experience which
enhance their performance. Additionally, company performance could increase when managers
empower their employees, and those are engaged to the work.
Research limitations
One of the most important limitation is a small sample size, however was covered three
biggest cities of Moldova, the results are non-representative for a whole country. This limitation
appears as the result of limited time of the primary data collecting, being five weeks.
Further, other limitation of this study is the questionnaire language. The data was collected
through employees that know English. As result, some of items were unclear for participants,
but they showed unwillingness to ask for explanation. In order to diminish this issue, was
prepared a small introduction for participants that explain critical questions, however this
remain to be a significant limitation of the study.
This study was done in Republic of Moldova, the sample was chosen randomly from three
biggest cities from Moldova. Taking into consideration, the small sample size that participated
in the study was tried to cover main cities, the future studies could explore in deep motivational
factors based on organizational industry. Furthermore, might be investigated the
demographic differences such as, gender, age, educational level, and work experience.
