From the Paper:

"The organizational role that personnel's motivation plays refers to the major impact that motivation has, directly or through other management elements, on the organization's functioning and performances. Given the fact that motivation stimulates the abilities, know-how, and energy of personnel, which is the most important resource of any organization, that mobilizes all the other resources, motivation's effects on organizational level are extremely powerful. Motivation's contents and methods used by an organization, contribute in a significant manner to imprinting certain organizational culture characteristics."
