Abstract

The quality of work life and motivation are essential for the success of companies. Research into these topics provides insights for improving the conditions and motivation of workers. The aim of this paper is to investigate the factors that most influence the quality of work life and motivation within a team of an IT company, to determine whether there are significant differences in the perception of the quality of work life and motivation among different groups of employees and how the working conditions and motivation of employees can be improved. The research sample was purposive sampling, employees in an IT company in the Republic of Serbia (n = 70). The research results show that investing in modern infrastructure, support for career development and continuous learning, as well as providing a mentorship program, can be key factors in achieving a successful work environment that stimulates and satisfies employees.
