Motivation through Uncertainty: The evidence of Greek structural Design Engineers during the economic crisis

The modern business runs in an ever-changing environment that is strongly influenced by technological, political, social, economic and scientific developments. The motivation of employees contributes to their capacity utilization in order to improve their efficiency and job satisfaction. The uniqueness of each employee, his interaction with the working environment and the management, the social context of each age and the changing needs of the individual within it, make it difficult to find the "absolute" motivation factors, effective for each employee. Current research empirically demonstrates the dynamic and multiple nature of motivation in the workplace and attempts to contribute to the international literature by providing a better understanding of the complex and changing concept of motivation in a dynamic environment, taking into account the specific characteristics of the target population, the work characteristics/identity of each employee, as well as the socio-economic context in which the research is conducted. This book is a perfect choice for HR management students and HR managers. It highlights the motivation process and helps managers to understand their employees.
