Summary/Abstract: The present study aims at analyzing an important issue in human resources management, namely, human motivation, which is a complex aspect regarding the management of organizations. Motivation is associated with money, compensation or salary as an essential element of the organizational culture. In this paper the salary is perceived through the lense of several motivation theories, such as: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Herzberg’s dual factor theory, Adams’ equity theory of motivation, Vroom’s expectancy theory, Alderfer’s ERG theory, McClelland’s acquired needs theory, Edwin Locke’s goal setting theory, Schein’s analysis of the behavioral sciences, Skinner’s reinforcement theory, Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory in order to highlight how money, salary or compensation can influence the employees’ performance. The salary can be perceived as a motivating factor and people represent the most important resource of the organization within the framework of the human resources management.
