  "account": "A new book by organisational researcher Hans Rusinek, \"Reclaim Work\", explores why many Germans are frustrated with their jobs. Rusinek argues that leadership plays a crucial role in motivating employees, and that a toxic work environment can lead to demotivation. He identifies \"hope-killers\" such as unsupportive leadership, an overemphasis on visibility over performance, and a lack of tolerance for criticism. Rusinek suggests that individuals can take steps to stay motivated, and that leaders should create a positive work environment and encourage critical thinking.",
  "summary": "Many bosses discourage their employees with certain behaviors. Which ones these are and how we can maintain our own enjoyment of our jobs, organizational researcher Hans Rusinek explains.",
