Abstract

With the emergence of the economic crisis in Brazil that directly affects the civil construction sector, it becomes important to analyze motivational factors for civil engineers looking for job opportunities during hard times or for those who feel devalued inside their work environment. As personal motivation has fundamental importance to achieve professional success, it becomes relevant to study the motivational theories and the way that each individual reacts according to their current situation. Thinking about that, theoretical studies were made about the subject of motivation and current market analysis for obtaining data through questionnaires, which the analysis of objective questions demonstrate what is happening in relation to the motivation of people within companies or in the search for employment. The objective is to analyze the answers obtained, in order to make a comparison between professionals from the same specialty. In conclusion, it was found that for employee satisfaction, the salary should be linked to other important motivational factors within the company such as: decisions autonomy and career plan. However, civil engineers looking for work should seek parallel activities that maintain their body and mind healthy and avoid selfdestructive emotions such as pessimism, anxiety and depression.
