Abstract

AbstractHuman and social relations, as well as organizational human resource activities are connected to each human constitution, cognition and psyche. Psyche, as part of human control center, called central nerve system if balanced is the basis of physical and psychological health, well- being, performance and productivity. Balancing is tangential issue in organizations, especially workplace, and helps managing at all levels of organizations in terms of selecting, supporting, motivating and training employees optimally and helps businesses designing products, building better workspaces and fostering healthy behavior (Oxford Economics: The future of work arrives early [1]). In a changing business world companies need the ability to assess which trends and developments are essential to sustain own workforce and accomplish the goal of staying competitive, and of being connected to employees and customers. Planning strategically with right stuff, qualitatively and quantitatively, is sufficient for the future. Previous fixed structures used in the companies before the Coronavirus Pandemic were followed by improvisation. Home office, short-time work, hygiene rules and social distancing were enforced by governmental corona regulations. Accomplishing goals requires personnel motivation, a process that is cross functional and goal directed while acting voluntary, moreover crisis requires motivation, based on consistency (Rump and Eilers in Strategy for the future—from trend scanning to strategic personnel planning, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg, [2]). It is the aim of the present publication to point out the possibilities of how to achieve this.KeywordsEmployee motivationJob performancejob performanceJob satisfactionLeadership changeCompetitive advantage
