participate in the process of change of the employees working in the social care institutions selected for the reform providing provide services to different target groups. The subjects. The research involves 1739 participants, including 270 direct employees’ managers. Methodology. The methodology for assessing motivation and competence of employees working in social care institutions (Socialinės globos įstaigose dirbančių darbuotojų motyvacijos ir kompetencijos vertinimo metodika (Griciūtė, Musteikienė & Senkevičiūtė, 2016)) was applied for the research. Results. The obtained results of the research show that most employees of social care institutions lack motivation to actively participate in the reform of institutional care.
