In this graduate thesis I will write about the employees motivation in health care. There are almost 70,000 health care professionals in the Croatian health care system with different occupational profiles working in 114 healthcare organizations. It is necessary to invest in a number of factors to raise the quality of health care, and one of the most important is the motivation of healthcare workers. Healthcare managers need to be aware that human resources play a key role in achieving the goals of the healthcare system and that they have to make great efforts to raise the quality of human resources management. Employees motivation is very important for every organization, as it leads to the employee's activities that will make the organization achieve its goals. Motivated and satisfied workers are the main condition to achieve successful business results. The work of doctors and nurses / technicians is very stressful and tiring, so the inner calling(unutarnji poziv) and the desire to help people are required for the choice of these professions. Healthcare workers gradually lose their inner motivation that already appeared in childhood because of different stress situations in their work environment, poor organization, exposure to hazardous and harmful environmental impacts. Medical staff in the surveyed countries consider intangible compensation to be stronger motivational factors. Of the immaterial factors the most important are career advancement, achievement and recognition, working conditions, autonomy in work and relationship with managers. In developing countries salary is referred to as a very important motivator as well as achievement and recognition. Research has shown that if we want to successfully motivate healthcare employees, we ought to combine both material and non-material motivational factors. It is very important to satisfy the existential needs of employees with material compensations, and then we need immaterial compensations to increase employees satisfaction and quality of healthcare.
