There have been many studies on what motivates coworkers in the workplace, but very few studies on what demotivates coworkers in business. Demotivaiton can be just as important to consider to create a good work environment as to avoid a toxic one. As a successful investor once articulated it “A lot of success in life and business comes from knowing what you want to avoid”. Avoiding demotivated coworkers is what this study aims to help correct by exploring which factors that cause demotivation for the individual in the workplace. The methodology to achieve this has been qualitative interviews with thirteen individuals, including both employees and managers at different companies. There were in total eight demotivational factors that were identified during the interviews. The researchers interpreted these factors in three categories: social, task-related and feedback and personal development related. It was possible to see that the older group were more affected by social demotivational factors than younger people. While younger people were more likely to experience task related factors to cause demotivation than the older group did.
