TRENDS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION SYSTEM UNDER CONDITIONS OF MARTIAL LAW

Abstract

This study examines the theoretical foundations of motivation within the management of modern organizations, emphasizing the analysis of effective personnel performance during wartime. It describes existing motivational strategies and explores functions that stimulate work behavior and enhance motivation in times of war. The management and motivation systems in Ukraine are not adapted to the radical changes of the present day. The need for psychological support in organizational management plays a crucial role. This represents a significant innovation for Ukraine; however, the issue of effective organizational functioning cannot be resolved if psychologists solely assist employees in addressing individual psychological and socio-psychological issues.Studying the dynamics of the current incentive mechanism and the material orientation of employees helps enterprises identify more effective methods of influence to achieve maximum returns from higher productivity, employment, and improved satisfaction of needs. The existing forms and methods of labor motivation are no longer able to meet the demands of modern enterprise operations, as there is often a lack of correlation between employee motivation, labor productivity, and final production outcomes. The imperfection of the material and moral incentive mechanism reduces labor discipline, creative activity, and qualification levels. Developing a system of incentives and motives leads to increased employee interest in performance results. During crisis periods, such as wars and social instability, psychological restructuring and heightened sensitivity to external influences occur not only in professional training but also in personal life. This often leads to disturbances in internal equilibrium and the emergence of new problems. An original interpretation of the concept of effective personnel performance and its motivation under martial law conditions is proposed. Despite conducted research, certain aspects of the issue concerning the formation of the material basis for labor incentives remain insufficiently explored. Based on a thorough analysis, it is concluded that effective personnel performance entails the efficient work of each individual, from management to staff, with motivational factors playing a significant role.
