  2. The negative side of demotivation also can be said here.Motivation is the key for employee performance.Demotivated employees may experience a temporary or permanent lack of motivation. It is important to tackle problems before managers get too deep and have time to harm other team members. The more managers neglect a problem, the more difficult it will be to restrain staff motivation.

In the current world, the employees are getting more stress and feel like frustrated, But the motivation bring out the ability of employee as well as the employer.
