demotivation

Examples of demotivation in the following topics:

• Classical Theory of Motivation

  • He distinguished between: Motivators (e.g. challenging work, recognition, responsibility) which give positive satisfaction, and Hygiene factors (e.g. status, job security, salary and fringe benefits) that do not motivate when present but, if absent, result in demotivation.

• Alternative Philosophies

  • This, in turn, can lead to similar levels of demotivation and job dissatisfaction at the expense of increased training levels and costs.

• Equity Theory

  • Although it may be acceptable for more senior staff to receive higher compensation, there are limits to the balance of the scales of equity and employees can find excessive executive pay demotivating.
