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.
