Özet: The emergence of temporary and democratic work forms characterizes work today and organizations to a great extent rely on individuals’ performance. Workers’ perceptions of working conditions are affected by two important factors: motivation and stress. Motivation constitutes a central element when going through the process of human learning. If the organization does not possess the ability to motivate its employees, the knowledge within the organization is not practically used to a maximum. Therefore, it becomes the aim of every successful learning organization to find the factors that enable it to motivate its employees to continuous learning and to take advantage of this knowledge to ensure its living. Many motivational theories have been constructed to find these motivational factors. The purpose of this paper was to discuss motivation in project team and explore the measurement of motivation in project management. Projects are motivating due to clear goals, but they are also often time pressured. Incidents like, for example, loss of resources, changing preferences or priorities, or project closure might provoke changes to the  set goals, to which individuals have committed. This could obstruct effective goal fulfilment as well as create stress among the people involved. How do project managers and project team members perceive incidents that the typical project encounters? How do they cope with uncertainties the incidents bring about? The finding suggests that incidents cause changes over the project lifecycle, both of goals and of individuals’ perceptions of tasks, conditions, and the situation. Different coping strategies are used to reduce uncertainty and stress.
