Mid-Career Block

Article Abstract:

Mid-career employees experience poorer performance levels than earlier in their careers. These employees must be motivated to increase productivity. Conditions that can cause poor performance in mid-career personnel include boredom and the absense of challenge. A success nemisis or a blocked opportunity can also demotivate employees. The organization wants to keep and help motivate these people because they offer job and organization knowledge, and company loyalty. Management commitment is necessary to institute programs that will correct these demotivating factors.
