Abstract:

The goal of this study was to examine organizational issues that affect employee motivation and retention. To obtain information about these issues that could be qualitatively analyzed and compared from state to state, we conducted face-to-face interviews with two or three individuals other state DOTs. The results of this stage of the study were primarily used as background information for the next phase of the study, which focused on organizational health in the North Dakota DOT. The second phase of the study included organization-wide surveys of managers and employees, and focus group discussions. Survey results suggested that employees had positive opinions about the work environment, but more negative opinions concerning some of the policies surrounding pay and performance management. The focus group discussions served to clarify some information from the surveys and to suggest possible improvements for the organization. 78 p. This document is available in HTML and PDF formats.
