What is demotivation?
Workplace demotivation refers to an employee’s lack of motivation at work and consequential reduction in performance. Lack of recognition, insufficient opportunities for career development, an authoritarian leadership style and workplace bullying are possible causes of demotivation.
Why is demotivation important?
Employee demotivation is often a “silent protest” by employees who feel frustrated in their work. It also occurs in organizations where employees don’t feel their well-being is taken seriously. Demotivation has costly effects, lowering team morale, causing higher employee turnover, lower levels of engagement, and diminished productivity.
Warning signs of demotivated workers
- Reluctance to take on more responsibility than the ‘bare minimum’
- Regular absence from work
- Sarcastic comments or complaining
- Lack of initiative
- Disinterest in career or personal development
- Personal interests interfering with the work day
