Nowadays it is common knowledge that people with their knowledge and skills are the fundamental strategic advantage of each organization. Hence the great importance of management skills in human resources management. In order to achieve the full potential of employees, it is necessary to determine the correct ways to motivate them. There are a lot of techniques available to managers, but they are basically divided into either tangible or intangible techniques. Tangible techniques are the foundation of motivation, but intangibles are becoming increasingly important as they meet the needs of a higher order and the need for self-realization for the employee. This thesis; "Intangible Motivation Techniques in the Function of Human Resources in an Organization", was written with the aim of analyzing the entire field of motivation and the effects of intangible forms of motivation on success and employee satisfaction. The Thesis consists of two parts, with the first part referring to the theoretical elaboration of concepts within the field of motivation. The concept of human resources, the importance and role of management in the service of human resource management, concept employee motivation, and its strategy are all defined, explained, and elaborated on. The second part of the Thesis is primary research with the aim of testing different motivational techniques as well as to what extent are they used in organizations. The study included 192 subjects. Results from the research showed that the motivational system in organizations insufficiently developed. Motivation is usually done financially, while intangible motivations strategies are insufficiently applied. Material motivational factors still have a greater impact on the quality of the tasks given to employees compared to intangible motivating factors. It can be concluded that training is required for managers on the formation of an effective motivational system, which is of up most importance to set the basis for an efficient operation and the realization of business goals and competitive advantages of an organization.
