Research by management consultancy Hay Group found half of employees do not believe they have the authority to make decisions crucial to their jobs, while more than a third (35%) believe their job does not make the best use of their skills and abilities.
The report shows only 26% of managers achieve a high-performance climate in their workplace and almost half of employers (48%) deal effectively with staff underperformance.
Ben Hubbard, regional director for EMEA at Hay Group, said: "The world's most successful companies go the extra mile to identify, reward, engage and enable their best performers, while addressing the ‘deadwood'. Those that fail to do so risk high-performing staff becoming frustrated, de-motivated and potentially seeking pastures new."
Management failures frustrate employees
One fifth of employees are frustrated in their jobs while 46% of managers create de-motivating climates for employees.
