Keywords: HRM, Motivational Factors, Competitive and Cooperative Behavior, Big Five Personality InventoryThe aim of the current study is to analyze motivational drivers important for the competitive and for the cooperative personality types which may have relevant implications for HR management. Nowadays, corporations in their search for efficiency should enhance their talent management and focus on the most relevant motivational factors. Today, another significant aspect of a dynamic corporation refers to the need for people who are both greatly cooperative and reactive to competitive forces within the corporation. Our analysis is based on a data collected via online questionnaire survey. The sample (N = 629) consists of Czech economically active population. Personality types (competitive and cooperative) are derived from the Neo (big five) personality inventory methodology. The study includes nine motivational factors such as financial reward, appreciation of work performance, stability of a job, potential for personal development, etc. Analytical methods used in the study include factor analysis, correlation analysis, and a three-dimensional graphical analysis -for better presentation of results and practical implications. The results correspond to the empirical expectations and at the same time bring an interesting insight which improves understanding of the psychological functioning of a personality as well as ways of efficient motivation of personnel in the corporate environment.

Objective of the article is to analyze the capacity of economic games dictator and ultimatum to predict ethical behavioral tendencies in the managerial context. The research has been carried out on the basis of the in-class behavioral experiment, using the principles of Gepard (Generator of Economic Behavior in Pedagogic Activities for Research and Development). There were 157 participants; under-graduate students of business. A structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the predictors, which is suitable for non-parametric variables. A three-dimension graphical analysis was used for illustrative reasons. Results show that the combination of both games, dictator and ultimatum, works as a good predictor of the ethical decision-making in the managerial context. The results can find a wide application in the field of HR management, especially recruitment; however a further research is needed.however in a strictly ethical setting. Hence, the ultimatum game serves as a better way to distinguish between the two tendencies mentioned above.An interesting contribution of this article is the fact that it demonstrates the advantage of employing two independent methods, notably, structural equation model and threedimensional graphical analysis based on the least squares method. The combination of the methods helps to reveal important structures and phenomena that probably would not be identifiable otherwise.
