The intersection of organisational psychology and leadership is vital for understanding and improving workplace dynamics. In a conversation with Dr. Arif Hassan, an expert in organisational psychology, emphasises how psychological principles shape effective leadership, particularly in motivating employees and fostering a positive work culture. By applying organisational psychology, leaders can create environments that promote motivation, trust, and efficiency.

[05:17] – How did your early career experiences shape your approach to management?

• My early career, particularly my work at the A.N. Sinha Institute of Social Studies and my research on decision-making processes in government departments shaped my understanding of organisational bureaucracy and inefficiencies. 
• The analysis of decision-making delays in a government department led me to suggest reducing steps in the process, an experience that informed my approach to management and organisational improvements.

[11:52] – What are some common organisational behaviours that can lead to decreased employee motivation?

• Common behaviours that demotivate employees include toxic organisational cultures characterised by coercion, threats, and intimidation. 
• A lack of career development opportunities, recognition, and rewards for good work also contribute to demotivation.

[19:06] – What are some common challenges leaders face to maintain motivation in times of crisis?

• In times of crisis, such as downsizing, employees may fear losing their jobs, which can demotivate them. 
• Leaders can counter this by offering reassurance, being transparent about future plans, and highlighting career advancement opportunities for those who remain.
