Abstract:
In a
complex and unpredictable business environment that is constantly changing,
often the individual performance of software developers directly influences the
performance of the entire organization. Thus, the more motivated employees
(respectively software developers) are, the results obtained by them are
higher, because the achievement of the individual objectives is closely related
to the achievement of the organization's objectives. Therefore,
this paper aims to study the link between motivating software developers and
organizational performance for a multinational company in Romania using Charles
Handy’s theory of motivation. Starting from the 4 “E” factors (energy,
excitement, effort and expenditure), a quantitative research was carried out by
applying a questionnaire among 32 software developers. The questionnaire was
made up of Likert-scale questions, so that each software developer could choose
the option that seemed most appropriate. The results revealed that there is a
strong link between the four motivational factors (e factors) and
organizational performance within software developers. Also, for the study of
the concepts most often encountered together with motivation, software
developers and performance, bibliometric research was carried out.
