THROUGH MOTIVATION TO JOB SATISFACTION OF THE EMPLOYEES IN THE IT SECTOR

Kiril Postolov, Boris Postolov

Abstract


IT organizations use different strategies to achieve prosperity, compete with their rivals, and increase their efficiency and effectiveness. When the employees of every IT organization are satisfied and motivated in achieving their tasks and goals, they can make progress and achieve success. The main theoretical goal of this paper is to find out how and to what extent, motivation affects the employee's IT job satisfaction, especially in terms of financial motivation, good working conditions, career development opportunities, supervisors' feedback, and the employee's involvement. In this paper, we will conduct empirical research with a total of 8 questions to get a clearer image of how well and to what extent, motivation affects the IT employee's job satisfaction. As the most acceptable choice, we are going to use The Likert scale, with the respondents expressing their agreement or disagreement through a five-point scale (1= Strongly disagree…5 = Strongly agree). Based on the conclusions obtained, the hypotheses (types of job satisfaction motivation) will be tested, with regard to their acceptance or rejection, and one specific conclusion will be obtained. In addition to their own research, other research techniques will be used within the paper to support the issue with relevant arguments and data. The results of this research can be used as a basis for further research, but also as a useful recommendation for the managers who would like to examine the level of motivation, job satisfaction, and interpersonal relationships within their organization.
