The present paper tries to enter the complicated labyrinth of the employees’ motivation in the working process and to investigate their preferences for the different means of motivation. For this purpose, we have undertaken a study over 23 firms from the town of Arad. We have noticed the preference for the financial means of motivation and not for the non financial ones, thing that has been expected according to David Mc Clelland’s theory regarding the individual’s needs of accomplishment on a certain level of the social development.
