Introduction: The subject of the research was the assessment of the opinions held by the administration staff of a public-sector unit - in this case of a University - on the subject of internal incentive system. The aim of the work was to determine the most important motivational incentives, including the division into remunerative and non-remunerative motivators. Material and Methods: The survey was carried out using an online questionnaire, on the basis of targeted selection of respondents, i.e. each administration employee received an e-mail with a link to the questionnaire, along with a request to participate in the survey. Results: Proprietary research carried out using a questionnaire survey showed that the main factors motivating administration employees to work are, among others, basic salary amount, promotion opportunities, change of rank, stability of employment, specific and clearly defined goals and discretionary bonus. Conclusions: Remunerative motivational factors are crucial for the respondents in the process of personal fulfillment and satisfaction with the work performed. This means that employees appreciate a stable, well-paid job with development opportunities.
