The present article gives a list of axioms needed for building up a mathematical theory of human motivation. A mathematical model of work motivation is proposed. Motivation is represented as a resulting vector of partial motivation generated by specific groups of needs. Vroom's model is included in the proposed model as instant motivation. A correlation between the level of motivation and the level of productivity is established.
Key Words: motivation, vector, needs

RADNA MOTIVACIJA: VEKTORSKI MODEL
U radu se daje lista aksioma potrebnih za formiranje matematičke teorije ljudske motivacije. Predložen je matematički model za radnu motivaciju. Motivacija se predstavlja kao rezultatski vektor parcijalnih motivacija izvedenih iz posebnih grupa potreba. Dokazuje se veza između nivoa motivacije i nivoa produktivnosti.
Ključne reči: motivacija, vektor, potrebe.
