Motivating and Demotivating Factors in a Job

Usually employees do prefer to work in quite and friendly environment without aggression or arguments.
To get a picture of quantity proportion between motivating and demotivating factors of a job we should follow the next graph:

Therefore, we can judge that the number of the motivating factors and the number of demotivating factors seems to be nearly equal and average three to three.
To sum it up, it is necessary to point out that in Russia money, self-esteem and free time are the leading motivating and demotivating factors of a job. What is more, aggression and hard relationships at work are a hard issue as well as not good enough conditions of work. The lack of free time due to over employment and not fixed working hours leads to depression and lower productivity of labour.
Conclusion


Motivation is the process of stimulating an individual to take action that will accomplish a desired goal. Highly motivated individuals can bring about substantial increases in productivity and job satisfaction and substantial decreases in tardiness, grievances, absenteeism, and so forth. Demotivating factors are understood as the opposite process. It is especially important to follow a right motivation strategy as well as avoid demotivating factors in a job. An effective leader can find a better way to organise the workers and be a motivating factor or she or he can cause some demotivating factors.
The theoretical information is dated from 1983 to 2006. The survey has been conveyed in 2015 special for this work in order to get more useful information.
Seven people have been surveyed; they have been asked to name several motivating and demotivating factors in a job. These results make it possible to conclude that money and self-esteem (social status plus enough amount of free time) are one of the main motivating factors for nowadays workers. We can judge that the number of the motivating factors and the number of demotivating factors seems to be nearly equal and average three to three. Finally, it is necessary to point out that in Russia money, self-esteem and free time are the leading motivating and demotivating factors of a job. What is more, aggression and hard relationships at work are a hard issue as well as not good enough conditions of work. The lack of free time due to over employment and not fixed working hours leads to depression and lower productivity of labour.
As a result, it is important to follow the right company politics to increase motivating factors and reduce demotivating ones. Effective leaders are to help to find a better way to do it; however, they can also cause a demotivating factor as well.
