<p>The study reveals that 55% of private sector employees do not feel appreciated by their employers and express significant concerns related to their work activities. Similarly, 63% of public sector employees feel professionally unmotivated and believe that their work is not valued. </p>
<p>When asked about their motivation to excel professionally, private sector employees generally feel more motivated than those in the public sector, with a ratio of 45% to 37%. </p>
<p>The study also highlights that the biggest fear among Romanian employees is the lack of personal time. Nevertheless, over 27% of respondents would choose a demanding job if it offered motivating financial benefits. </p>
<p>The second biggest fear is making major mistakes or failing in important projects, followed by the fear of being overworked. </p>
<p>Flexibility in work hours and a balance between personal and professional life are key motivators for employees, with 48% of private sector employees and 29% of public sector employees affirming this. The need for recognition and appreciation from colleagues and superiors ranks second as a motivator, with an equal percentage of 30% in both sectors.</p>
<p>The survey was conducted on a sample of over 2,000 employees in Romania who participated in authorized professional development courses.</p>
