ETHNIC ORIGIN AND MOTIVATION FOR UNQUALIFIED WORKS
ETHNIC ORIGIN AND MOTIVATION FOR UNQUALIFIED WORKS

Summary/Abstract: For many years it has been known that one of the most obvious social and economic phenomena is the seasonal or permanent migration of labour forces from Eastern Europe to other territories, the aim pursued in this study is to analyze the relations between motivation for work and the origin of people performing unskilled work in Germany. In order to achieve the goal, the following hypothesis was advanced: There are statistically significant differences in the motivation for work of people who work in Germany, depending on their ethnic origin: German or other origins. The results show statistically significant differences between the two groups of subjects in favour of persons of other origins, who have greater needs for safety and security and, respectively, the need for self-actualization than persons of German origin. This study is useful, first of all, to people from agencies that recruit, select and place unskilled workers abroad.
