Nowadays it is noticeable about home corporations that ensuring the contentment of employees is a real challenge for the managers, or better said, the sustenance of their motivations. The significance of this subject pertains to that theory, which expresses that performance is the multiplicational product of both motivation and capabilities (read more on this theory in for example Vroom 1968, Klein B. -Klein S. 2008. Namely, achieving outstanding organizational performance becomes possible only in those cases, when employees have a sufficient amount of motivation. Shaping up said motivation is greatly on the shoulders of the management, since if they can manage their underlings effectively, the organization may earn great success. The study presents the results of fresh research. I have conducted a survey about leaders of homeland financial institutions in order to obtain research information about the role of management in creating and maintaining motivation within the employees, and what is its coherence with the organizational performance. My subsequent examination consists of what factors induce contentment, and what causes discontent amongst the employees. I am searching for answers for these considerably complex questions. Based on theories of motivation and attitude, I conducted interviews, the results of which I attempt to summarize in this very study and collate it with the results of similar empirical researches.

They have recognized that people are not simply mere work tools, but persons owning such great specialized knowledge, and without their satisfactory motivation, it is not possible for any organization to achieve long-term results (see also Mathur G. -Jugdev K. -T.

Namely, the development of one or two products cannot be considered as insurance of gaining a tenacious competitive advantage, if the corporation can not preserve their employees. The management has a great significance on this matter.Professionals of leadership studies define the essence of leadership in many different ways. According to the viewpoint of the first great expert of this issue, Fayol, leadership is equal and comparable to planning, organizing, directly controlling, coordinating and supervising (Fayol 1916). According to Fiedler (1968, leadership is the process of influencing others for the purpose of finding a common solution to an objective. The wording of Nemes (1998) suggests that leadership is an activity, which orients towards the effective and productive usage of resources to achieve certain goals. Cartwright and Zander (1980) see the secret of leadership in their written summarization about leadership that the leader, surrounding his subordinates, notices the operating functions of key importance. Leadership is the systematical operation of an organization utilizing a scientifically substa...

“…The agreement resulted in an Aboriginal employment rate of 25% at the mine itself, and helped dispel prevailing racist stereotypes in the surrounding outposts and communities (Langton 2013a, p. 5/20). Native Title agreements such as this placed Indigenous people in a good position to take advantage of the mining boom, with the number of Indigenous people employed in the mining industry doubling to over 7,000 between 2006 and 2011 (Hunter et al 2015). However, the benefits of Native Title have been neither permanent nor universal.…”
