Employee Motivation: Recognizing Achievement & Managing Jealousy

The recognition and sense of achievement from superiors can also serve as a motivation for employees' efforts. It's almost predictable that treating employees completely fairly can be challenging, as everyone's performance varies. In such circumstances, jealousy is likely to arise.
