Motivation is one of the most important aspects in human resources management. Motivated employees are often the difference between the good and great companies. The ever-complicating environment is demanding more and more from companies. In the current economical era, namely the human capital is the one thing, providing the requirements of the environment so that companies can afford to stay on the market. Therefore, everything linked to the proper human resources management should be examined in detail, which is the main purpose of the current study. Here we aim to examine the link between the number of children for which the respondents are required to take care of and the most valuable motivators in workplace motivation. We firmly believe that the preferred motivators are directly linked to the number of children, with which we describe as the stage of the life cycle for each respondent. First of all, in our article we would like to examine motivation as a part of the human resource management. Afterwards, we will examine the results from our survey, held among 595 respondents from various sectors of the Bulgarian economy. The survey was held in online format, guaranteeing the anonymity of the respondents. The larger part of the response group is part of a governmentally owned railway company.

Effective human resources management is a key ingredient in building and sustaining a country’s land administration infrastructure. Whether it is building new systems or reforming existing ones, the recruitment, training, provision of support for, and evaluation of employees will ultimately be far more important than matters pertaining to technology and process. Yet traditionally, human resources management has not been given much serious attention in the land administration field. Within the broader public administration arena, however, the human resources management function is increasingly being recognized as a central organizational concern and that ‘its performance and delivery are integrated into line management; the aims shift from merely securing compliance to the more ambitious one of winning commitment. The employee resource, therefore, becomes worth investing in, and training and development thus assume a higher profile’ (Storey 1991). What distinguishes modern human resources management from the more traditional personnel functions is its focus on utilizing human resources to strategic management objectives. Effective human resources management seeks to: 1. link human resources management issues to the overall strategy of an organization; 2. build strong organizational cultures aimed at uniting employees through a shared set of goals and values (‘quality’, ‘service’, ‘innovation’, etc.) and by promoting a commonality of interests amongst employees and management; 3. recognize employees as a resource, as social capital that can be developed and can contribute to competitive advantage; 4. replace traditional top-down communication, coupled with controlled information flow, to a sharing of information and knowledge; and 5. achieve flexibility and adaptability to manage change and innovation in response to rapid changing circumstances (Burt and Spector 1985). This section examines briefly some of the principal human resources management issues, particularly as they relate to developing countries. The focus will be on concerns within the public sector (where most of the core land administration activity occurs), the broader issues of developing local capacity in both the public and private sectors, and the requirements for developing professional associations. Significant emphasis has been given in recent years to the challenges of building and sustaining institutions for capable public sector administration in the developing world.

The socioeconomic changes that many countries have been experiencing in recent decades, caused by structural factors or by specific circumstances, where the pandemic crisis of COVID-19 is only the most recent example, have posed challenges to organizations, which present themselves more and more and in various forms as threatened by the possibility of fulfilling their mission. Public and private sectors increasingly present themselves as insufficient to respond effectively to day-to-day requests. This context of instability and the resulting impacts for non-profit organizations pose serious problems to the way in which governance is exercised and served as a motivation for carrying out a study that aimed to understand the influence of strategy and human resources on the governance of these organizations. A review of the literature on the variables under study made it possible to identify the sub-dimensions associated with each one of them and the respective indicators. Thus, for a quantitative study, it was possible to apply a questionnaire to 242 Holy Houses of Mercy in Portugal to understand the direct and indirect influences of strategic management and human resources management on the governance of these institutions. The results obtained show the existence of a positive relationship between the variables under analysis, confirming that not only do these variables influence, by themselves and directly, the governance of the institutions studied, but also the strategy influences human resources policies, which in turn have implications for the way the Holy Houses of Mercy deal with aspects associated with governance. It is concluded that, in general, for these organizations to be more effective in efforts to improve their governance processes, they must focus on strategic management and human resources management instruments.
