Motivational Factors in Research

People are tremendously important for the economic
success. Biotech-based research is performed by
highly qualified people who initiate the
identification of new medicine in both biotech and
pharmaceutical organisations. These organisations
have realised the importance of these people but
what is done to find, develop and keep these people?
The author Denis Mehic sees the generation and
management of a talent pool as the major activity of
the modern HRM. He reviews the role of HRM in modern
organisations and provides an overview on different
motivational theories. Based on qualitative and
quantitative evidence the author approaches the
importance of distinct points that contribute to
human motivation and factors that most efficiently
influence it. This book touches a weak point of all
technically driven organisations that tend to treat
people as a technical and logical thing. It also
analyses the engine of motivation in a detailed
manner and provides several suggestions how to
transform the findings to the real world. This book
is of particular interest to all researchers,
R&D as well as HR mangers and to all who make people
management the burning priority.
