The very concept of human resources management appears relatively recently, but the importance of what it encompasses is quickly recognized as an essential component of a company's business, and is beginning to be frequently addressed in science. With the further development of this discipline, its benefits and potentials are increasingly recognized, so it appears as a separate function within almost all major companies. In its operational application, it deals with the complete staffing process, which includes all those elements from compiling surveys and evaluating the potential of potentially employable candidates, to final employment and further development of employees. As a function, she is also in charge of managing groups of employees and their motivation, where she aims to motivate employees to give their best in the workplace, in order to maximize the business success of a company. This paper will also theoretically deal with motivation and motivational processes, and describe the most relevant methods of motivation, touching on both the advantages they offer and the accompanying disadvantages that should also be borne in mind.
