Abstract. It is one of the characteristics of human beings to be guided, not only by one, but by a number of motives, and to be active due to influence of a number of needs.  All of these motives together form a complex of factors that induce and direct human activity. Since motives are immanent, that is, constituent parts of an integrated whole called personality, only by their careful analysis we can get an answer to the question: Why do people in certain situations behave in such a way and not in another? What is also important is to find out what the motives of such a behavior are, in order to understand the causes that make healthy human beings break the rules, sometimes on purpose, and so expose themselves to danger. By cognition of the objective stimuli in the working environment, it is possible to explore practical ways to remove or decrease effect of the factors causing unwanted motivation.
Key words:   occupational health, functional autonomy, satisfaction of needs

MOTIVACIJA ZA ZAŠTITU NA RADU
Ljudima je osobeno da se ne rukovode pojedinim, već nekolikim motivima i da su aktivni, ne pod uticajem pojedinačnih već niza potreba. Svi ovi pokretači zajedno stvaraju složeni kompleks faktora koji pokreće i usmerava čovekovu delatnost. Budući da su motivi imanentni, tj. konstitutivni deo integrisane celine koja se naziva ličnost, jedino njihovom pažljivom analizom se može doći do odgovora na pitanje: zašto se čovek u određenoj situaciji ponaša tako a ne drugačije? Takođe je, radi razumevanja uzroka koji pokreću zdrave ljude da ponekad namerno (hotimično) krše pravila, izlažući pri tome sebe velikoj opasnosti, neophodno, pre svega, otkriti motive takvog ponašanja. Spoznajom objektivnih podsticaja iz radne sredine, moguće je istraživati praktične puteve za otklanjanje ili smanjenje dejstava faktora, koji izazivaju neželjene motivacije.
