Dažniausiai į eismo įvykius patenka profesionalūs vairuotojai, nes profesionalus vairavimas sąlygoja daug didesnę riziką nei kitos profesijos. Eismo įvykiai – tai dideli ekonominiai ir socialiniai kaštai visuomenei ir darbdaviams. Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti profesionalių vairuotojų darbo motyvacijos, asmenybės bruožų ir rizikingo vairavimo elgesio sąsajas.

Darbas yra apie personalo motyvaciją ir motyvavimą, o tiksliau apie personalo motyvavimo priemones. Motyvacija yra vidinė jėga/būsena, kuri sąlygoja individo elgseną. Siekiant, kad darbuotojas dirbtu gerai darbdavys turi pasirinkti tinkamiausias motyvavimo priemonės iš visos jų gausos.

Ši priemonė efektyvi, bet turi trumpalaikį veikimą. Todėl rekomenduojama naudoti daugiau nematerialinių motyvavimo priemonių tokių kaip darbovietės prestižas, draugiškas kolektyvas, darbdavio pagarba ir kitus. Motyvavimo priemonių visumą turi būti sudaryta atsižvelgiant į įmonės veiklos sritį ir darbuotojo poreikius. Motyvavimo procesas tai bendradarbiavimas tarp darbdavio ir darbuotojo.
