The paper analyses the relations and influence of employee motivation factors on job satisfaction in mining companies. The empirical study was conducted among the two largest mining companies in the Republic of Serbia. The sample consisted of 200 respondents employed in the selected companies. The data were processed using SPSS 21.0. Package, which was applied in order to conduct standard multiple regression analysis and determine the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results indicate a significant correlation between motivation factors and job satisfaction among the employees. In addition, the findings imply that motivation factors, such as nonmaterial motivators related to work (NMW) and material motivators (MAT), have a significant influence on satisfaction. The research has theoretical contribution regarding the limited studies exploring the motivation of employees in the mining sector. In practice, the study provides significant insight into designing motivation systems to improve the effectiveness of human resources management in mining companies. Bearing in mind that the business success of mining companies strongly affects the country’s economy, this research has greater importance and broader perspective.

Artykuł analizuje relacje i wpływ czynników motywacji pracowników na satysfakcję z pracy w przedsiębiorstwach górniczych. Badanie empiryczne przeprowadzono wśród dwóch największych firm górniczych w Republice Serbii. Próba składała się z 200 respondentów zatrudnionych w wybranych firmach. Dane zostały przetworzone przy użyciu SPSS 21.0. Pakiet, który zastosowano w celu przeprowadzenia standardowej analizy regresji wielokrotnej i wyznaczenia współczynnika korelacji Pearsona. Wyniki wskazują na istotną korelację pomiędzy czynnikami motywacyjnymi a satysfakcją z pracy wśród pracowników. Ponadto wyniki sugerują, że czynniki motywacyjne, takie jak niematerialne motywatory związane z pracą (NMW) i materialne motywatory (MAT), mają istotny wpływ na satysfakcję. Badania mają wkład teoretyczny w zakresie ograniczonych badań eksplorujących motywację pracowników w sektorze górniczym. W praktyce badanie dostarcza istotnego wglądu w projektowanie systemów motywacyjnych w celu poprawy efektywności zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi w przedsiębiorstwach górniczych. Mając na uwadze, że sukces biznesowy firm górniczych silnie wpływa na gospodarkę kraju, badanie to ma większe znaczenie i szerszą perspektywę.
