Abstract

The warehouse organization of F. Hoffmann La-Roche on the site in Kaiseraugst is transforming its currently classic hierarchical organization into a self-organized one. As intrinsic motivation and engagement of the whole organization is crucial for this transformation the Warehouse Management was faced with the question how to enable motivation within the new organizational set-up. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to evaluate which aspects of the work environment are supporting intrinsic motivation within self-organized teams and give recommendations for action for the warehouse.
