Instead of simply getting through it: Motivation slump at work: How do I find new drive?

Many employees experience a motivational slump, especially at the end of the year. Psychologist Anne Klien states that it's normal to feel unmotivated at times, but if the slump persists for weeks, it's essential to identify the underlying causes. These can include lack of appreciation, conflicting values, and lack of self-efficacy.

Experts suggest strategies to boost motivation, such as reconnecting with one's initial job passion, actively shaping one's workday, and addressing needs openly with supervisors. If the slump persists, it may be necessary to examine one's job situation and consider seeking professional support.
