Motivation of scientific and pedagogical workers and its effectiveness

Keywords: scientific and pedagogical workers, motivation, material motivation, non-material motivation, salary, social packages

Abstract

The most important factor determining the quality of education at a university is the motivation of scientific and teaching staff, and there are different models of motivation for this category of employees in the world. The purpose of the study is to analyze the motivation of scientific and pedagogical workers in Ukraine in comparison with scientific and pedagogical workers in Europe and the USA. To achieve this goal, the authors use the following research methods: abstract, comparative, deductive, tabular and graphical methods. The main motivational components of incentives for scientific and pedagogical personnel in the United States are base salaries, research grants, which significantly influence the level of wages, and a significant part of non-financial motivation is health insurance packages. European countries rely on the base salary in their incentive models and include a variable part of up to 20%, which takes into account personal stipends and allowances. In France and Germany, social packages are widely used as non-financial motivation. In Ukraine, the motivation of scientific and pedagogical workers is actively regulated by a number of additional payments and bonuses, which do not take into account the individual merits of scientists, but are applied in a formulaic manner.
