The conclusion that is reached by them is that motivation is a problem. The workforce is a ‘big asset’ of the company, so they are ‘only source of competitive advantage’ that makes them different from their competition. (Wilson, 2009)

In today’s business world, it seems that the major pitfall is in employees’ lack of motivation and engagement in their positions.
