Abstract
Every production system consists of three elements: people, infrastructure (machines, tools) and work items (raw materials, materials). Without any of them, it is impossible to start production. People are the most important element of the production system because they decide about its creation, goals and tasks [1]. The article discusses the problem of assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of activities related to human resource management and motivation in Amoeba Management system. Motivating and communicating techniques were used as criteria to assess the effectiveness and completeness of this approach. Amoeba principles are described in the first part of the article. Motivating and communicating techniques were used as criteria to assess the effectiveness and completeness of this approach.
