Abstract
Leadership has been considerate as a competitive advantage for organizations, contributing to their success and effective and efficient performance. Motivation, on the other hand, is assumed as a basic competence of leadership. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to know the perceptions of bank employees on the main motivational factors in the organizational context. Data analysis was performed based on several statistical methods, among which the Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CatPCA) and some agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithms from VL (V for Validity, L for Linkage) parametrical family, applied to the items that aim to assess the aspects most valued by bankers in the work context. The CatPCA allowed to extract four principal components which explain almost 70% of the total data variance. The dendrograms provided by the hierarchical clustering algorithms over the same data, exhibit four main branches, which are associated with different main motivational factors. Moreover, CatPCA and clustering results show an important correspondence concerning the main motivations in this sector.
