Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Inside the behaviors that lead to workplace disenchantment and how managers and organizations can boost motivation in sustainable ways.
Workplace disenchantment can cause major issues for organizations--productivity decreases, employees can turn actively destructive, and individual health and well-being can deteriorate. Most people start a job happy enough and determined to do a good job--if they are lucky, they have found a job which suits their skills and values. They may be eager, hopeful and willing to be engaged. So when and why do they become disenchanted and demotivated?
In this new book, Adrian Furnham and Luke Treglown look at several theories into job satisfaction and workplace motivation. They explore how much of a motivator money really is, and which personality profiles are more likely to lead to a disruptive, disenchanted employee.
Disenchantment discusses the related and identifiable behaviors that very clearly lead to disenchantment, and how individuals and organisations can work to prevent this and boost motivation and engagement in a way that is practicable and sustainable. Keeping employees motivated takes more than just ensuring they're not unhappy, and Disenchantment outlines some of the ways that organizations can manage this.
