If employees are properly motivated, their needs will be met and the appropriate working conditions will result in greater satisfaction. In order to achieve these goals, initiatives should be taken to improve the performance of employees and increase their job satisfaction. The evaluation of the motivation system is still a current and important topic in management and quality sciences. Efficient human resource management allows the company to achieve its goals. One of the elements of human resource management is motivating employees, which has become the subject of this research. The aim of the research was to evaluate the motivation system in a company from the transport industry, according to: the position held, duration of employment, age and education. Kruskal-Wallis analyses were used in the study. The results were preceded by an analysis of the literature on the subject of the work. The conclusion is that there is a group of people for whom the motivation system is not understandable. The system among senior employees should be improved to counteract the routine in their motivation.
