Performance at work
How is it that certain employees are motivated, focused and efficient at work, while others struggle to complete their jobs? Why do some teams soar to new heights while others seem to go round in circles? Performance in the workplace is a product of motivation, and the willingness and the ability to perform. And the employees’ skills, personal characteristics and living situation play a pivotal role in this. But the framework conditions are just as important. Conditions can be created at the organisational and management level which have a motivating effect, prevent stress and promote cohesive collaboration. The organisation of work and an appreciative working atmosphere are of key importance. Conversely, psychosocial risks arise in the event of poor organisation of work, a lack of self-management by employees and an unfavourable social context. These can manifest themselves through stress, burnout, or breaches of integrity, such as bullying or sexual harassment. The consequences of this are psychological and/or physical problems, poor performance and absences due to illness.
Stresses and resources
When job requirements match the employees’ skills, employees will be motivated and confident to work toward the company’s goals. However, if there is a discrepancy between the requirements and skills, then the employees are either overburdened or underchallenged. Both can cause stress. And in the long run this has a demotivating and even harmful effect on health.
Reduce stress and build up resources
You can reduce stress and build up resources with targeted measures at the organisational and management level. For example, periodically review the job and role descriptions together with your employees. Also, define realistic targets and review them regularly. Look for early warning signs: irritation, sarcasm or a lack of motivation usually stand for stressful team situations. Address problematic behaviours such as breaches of personal integrity or conflicts early on.
