Staying Motivated at Work

• What does a meta-analysis of 192 studies involving more than 93,000 employees reveal about workplace motivation?
• Which three basic needs determine whether someone is intrinsically motivated or primarily works under pressure?
• Why is there a stronger link between regulated motivation and absenteeism and burnout than you might expect?
• What can managers do differently starting tomorrow to influence this?

The white paper “Staying Motivated at Work” provides insights into what a large-scale meta-analysis reveals about motivation, leadership, and sustainable employability. Based on 192 studies and data from more than 93,000 employees, the analysis shows that motivation is not a personal trait but arises primarily from the context in which a person works.
For managers and HR professionals, this white paper offers not abstract theory but concrete starting points: where do you have the most control, and where can you provide space, development, and connection to keep employees healthy and motivated?
