Awards That Demotivate

In 2019 the German career site Karrierebibel published an article titled Mitarbeiter des Monats: Auszeichnungen demotivieren, employee of the month: awards demotivate.

It described what such awards do in a team. Dem Mitarbeiter wird der Erfolg nicht gegönnt oder es wird sogar eine Bevorzugung durch den Chef unterstellt. The colleagues begrudge the employee his success, or they even suspect that the boss favors him. Ranglisten sind gefährlich und können den Teamgeist beeinträchtigen. Rankings are dangerous and can harm team spirit.
