Disengaged employees are more motivated than you think, according to a new survey:
- 26% of employees are motivated but unhappy. These people dislike the company but are still motivated to give 100% effort at work.
- Engaged employees feel that “actually practicing this organization’s values is critical to my success here.” Motivated but unhappy people don’t see the same connection between practicing the organization’s values and achieving success there.
- Highly motivated employees, even if they’re unhappy, are more likely to have high expectations both for themselves and for everyone else in the organization.
- If someone is motivated to give 100% at work, it’s likely that they want see errors fixed – even when they don’t like the company or their job.
