Summary/Abstract: Findings – In the analyzes conducted, a significant relationship was found between gender and educational status, and demotivation and autonomous motivation, between the sector and demotivation, controlled motivation and autonomous motivation and between the position in the workplace and controlled motivation. However, there was no significant relationship between marital status, total working year and job motivation dimensions. While the demotivation and controlled motivation level of the public sector employees is higher than the private sector employees, the autonomous motivation level of the public sector employees is lower than the private sector employees. Discussion – It is considered that the gender of the employees participating in the study, their education status, their position in the workplace and the sector may have an impact on job motivation. The findings obtained in the research can be evaluated together with other studies in the literature, and can give managers different perspectives on employee motivation.
