V diplomskem delu smo predstavili raziskavo, ki je bila izvedena v Upravni enoti Ribnica. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, ali so zaposleni pri svojem delu motivirani in zadovoljni, kaj je tisto, kar jih pri njihovem delu motivira in dela zadovoljne, ter kaj je tisto, kar jih pri delu demotivira. Teoretični del diplomskega dela obsega predstavitev pojma motivacije, motivacijskih dejavnikov in teorij, pojem zadovoljstva zaposlenih ter pomen organizacijske kulture in klime. S pomočjo ankete je bila izvedena raziskava, v kateri je bilo ugotovljeno, da so zaposleni pri opravljanju svojega dela motivirani. Kot dejavnike, ki jih najbolj motivirajo, so navedli dobre medsebojne odnose, primerno delovno okolje, stalnost zaposlitve ter zanimivo in dinamično delo. Nezadovoljstvo pa so izrazili z nizkimi plačami, slabimi možnostmi za napredovanje ter pomanjkanjem pohval in nagrad. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov raziskave smo podali predloge za izboljšanje stanja.In this graduate thesis we introduced study, which was carried out in the administrative unit Ribnica.
