  • Description: Employee motivation plays one of the key roles in the field of human resource management. Properly motivated employees may affect success of a company active in highly competitive environment through their performance. Via analysis of selected motivation factors, the aim of the article is to identify and verify differences in the perception of the level of motivation among managers, white-collar workers and blue-collar workers. The research was based on the data collected via structured questionnaires gathered at various furniture companies operating in Slovakia. Total of 1,022 respondents participated in the research. 98 of these respondents were managers, 282 white-collar workers and 642 blue-collar workers. Based on the research results, we can conclude that statistically significant differences exist in perception of motivation among managers, white-collar and blue-collar workers. These differences were confirmed in the motivation factors atmosphere in the workplace, good work team, basic salary and fair appraisal system. The research results further show that, unlike blue-collar workers, managers and white-collar workers prefer similar motivation factors such as atmosphere in the workplace and good work team. With regard to the results of analyses, Slovak furniture companies are recommended to design a motivation programme tailored specifically for managers and specifically for white-collar workers. Further recommendation is to create an individualised motivation programme for blue-collar workers.
