The paper focuses on the identification of applied non-financial motivation tools and the motivation of SME employees in terms of their work effort and productivity. The research sample consisted of 223 respondents from small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. The results of the research showed that non-financial motivation tools are required by SME employees with higher intensity than in previous year; however, the management of the enterprises are not well-aware of this fact. Our results indicate that if small and medium-sized enterprises realized the importance of non-financial motivational factors and provided their employees with them, the employees would appreciate a greater variety of forms of remuneration, which would be positively reflected in their productivity and thus the overall performance of a specific enterprise.

W artykule skupiono się na identyfikacji stosowanych pozafinansowych narzędzi motywacyjnych oraz motywacji pracowników MŚP w zakresie ich nakładu pracy i produktywności. Próba badawcza składała się z 223 respondentów z małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w Czechach. Wyniki badania wykazały, że pozafinansowe narzędzia motywacyjne są wymagane przez pracowników MŚP z większą intensywnością niż w roku poprzednim; jednak kierownictwo przedsiębiorstw nie zdaje sobie z tego sprawy. Nasze wyniki wskazują, że gdyby małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa uświadomiły sobie znaczenie pozafinansowych czynników motywacyjnych i zapewniły je swoim pracownikom, doceniliby oni większą różnorodność form wynagradzania, co miałoby pozytywny wpływ na ich produktywność, a tym samym ogólna wydajność konkretnego przedsiębiorstwa.
