Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the factors contributing to demoralisation and demotivation within organisations, with a focus on how these issues impact employee performance and overall organisational success. The discussion centers on several key areas, including de empowerment, lack of control over decisions, and the exclusion of middle management and direct supervisors from senior-level decision-making. Additionally, the financial aspects, lack of development opportunities, alienation from socialisation and team ties, and insufficient management focus on team morale and cohesion are explored. These elements often compound the issue of burnout, especially when organisations focus on resilience without addressing capacity and unrealistic deadlines. By identifying these demotivating factors and their interconnections, the paper highlights how organisations can address these challenges through better engagement strategies, improved decision-making processes, and a more realistic assessment of employee workloads.
