Interest in work comes second in both categories of respondents (57% and 48% respectively). 54% of employers are sure that praise from superiors has a positive effect on work speed, but in reality this is important for only 16% of Russians; In third place among economically active citizens is the desire to prove themselves (28% of votes). Employers also overestimate the importance of motivating factors such as the lack of ability to delegate responsibility to other employees and control by management.
“Deadlines” for the completion of work encourage more than every tenth person to work more actively, but company representatives do not consider this factor important at all.
Men were more likely to admit that they were under the pressure of deadlines. Women are more sensitive to praise from their superiors and work more actively because they are interested in what they do or to demonstrate their talents.
