This sudden change of organization, in political and economic contexts generated new topics in the field of organizational research. To look into that concept, an empirical research was conducted within the Greek structural design Engineers. The aim of this paper is to investigate the motivation process at the workplace during the economic crisis. Generally, employee motivation has been studied and analyzed by dozens of scholars who apparently have exhausted the subject, others created theories and others did empirical research. The current research focuses on the in-depth analysis of a small group of employees (qualitative research) in a workplace with a strong influence of the current crisis.
