The Performance Paradox: Balancing Metrics and Workplace Morale
Employee attitudes toward management have a significant impact on both productivity and the retention of key specialists. In particular, when management strictly evaluates employees solely based on statistical indicators, an ambiguous picture emerges. On one hand, those employees whose metrics are improving can afford certain violations without serious consequences, demonstrating flexibility toward truly effective workers. As one of the analyzed sources notes, "if an employee provides a high volume of production, achieving excellent statistics, then the ethics section is, without a doubt, of no interest to him… an employee can 'get away with murder,' provided that his statistics are on the rise" (source: 182_909.txt, page: 198). This can help retain key specialists, as successful employees feel a sort of "loyalty" from the system that justifies their work approach.
