Abstract

The article analyzes civil servants’ motivational potential according to the factors affecting their motivation. The study aims to determine the managerial influence necessary to ensure the required quality of human resources based on their motivational characteristics. The study defines the quality of human resources as a degree of their compliance with the requirements formed in the internal environment of the organization. The methodology of the study includes V. I. Gerchikov’s typological concept, T. Ehlers’ diagnostic technique that reveals motivation for success, and S. Ritchie and P. Martin’s method, which allows determining the motivational profile. The peculiarity of the study is the application of these methods to the civil servants’ activity. The results of the study confirm the authors’ hypotheses. The influence of seniority on the structure of motivational types of employees was determined, and the interrelation between the position held by respondents in the civil service and the level of their motivation to work was revealed. The analysis of the factors affecting the motivation of civil servants made it possible to propose a differentiated approach to the implementation of managerial influences in terms of the dominant type of motivation.
