New research from SHL, a provider of talent assessment solutions, says only a quarter of workers report their manager motivational all or some of the time.

While that may not be much of a surprise, the SHL research finds men more likely to be de-motivated by poor senior management (38 percent) and poor line management (29 percent) than women. On the other hand 17 percent of women are more affected by  criticism and poor relationships with colleagues (19 percent) than their male counterparts. Age also can have an impact on motivation, with young employees (aged 18 to 34) more likely to be de-motivated by uninteresting work (37 percent) than those over age 35 (26 percent). Young workers also are more motivated by company culture and their work environment than older colleagues.

The complete report is not on the SHL website.
