This research assessed employee motivation levels within the forest products industry. A total of 1,175 individuals engaged in diverse roles across the sector were involved in the study. Data collection relied on the administration of questionnaires. The findings highlighted key motivational the primary contributors to mood and motivation. Similarly, the factors encompassing "wages, social rights, reward systems, and bonuses" ranked highest in terms of motivational tools. Job satisfaction was primarily influenced by "wages and the fulfillment of individual needs." Furthermore, the study revealed that "education, talent, industriousness, and selfsacrifice" were predominant among influential factors. When it came to desired managerial qualities, "staffing and interpersonal skills" took precedence. Material rewards like "leave entitlements and wage increases" were the foremost considerations for recognizing achievement. During the company selection process, employees considered wage conditions, insurance, social opportunities, health and safety measures, job security, management approach, and growth prospects as vital factors, in descending order of importance.
