Personnel Competence and Qualification Level Improvement: Motivation and Incentive Factors

Abstract

In modern business conditions, improvement of competence and qualification level of personnel, with the latter being one of the most important business resources, is a relevant issue. The impact on the given resource should be focused not only on managing it, but it should be primarily associated with the influences capable of ensuring an increase in their competence and qualification level. This consequently contributes to the achievement of strategic and tactical objectives of the enterprise. In this regard, motivation and incentive factors can be viewed as an effective tool for personnel management to encourage them to improve their competence and qualification level. The present work discusses and justifies the main factors of personnel motivation and incentive impact on their interest in improving their competence and qualification level. Based on the research results, workforce is divided into three categories depending on the influence of motivation and incentive factors.
