Lead: “Motivation can be destroyed amazingly effectively”

A new book by organisational researcher Hans Rusinek, "Reclaim Work", explores why many Germans are frustrated with their jobs. According to Rusinek, around half of Germans report that their profession is the main source of frustration in their lives. He argues that leaders must create a work environment that gives people hope, and that individuals can also take steps to boost their motivation.

Rusinek suggests that societal and economic pressures, such as the high taxation of work income compared to capital income, can contribute to demotivation.
