Willingness to perform among Germans: New survey delivers surprising results

According to a report from www.t-online.de, Germans rate their own performance in professional life very highly, while they rate the willingness of their fellow citizens to perform significantly lower. This was the result of a survey conducted by the opinion research institute Civey on behalf of t-online among around 10,000 German citizens. 83 percent of all respondents consider themselves to be willing to perform in their professional lives, while only 45 percent consider their compatriots to be sufficiently willing to perform.

The results of this survey could have various impacts on the market and the financial industry. On the one hand, the different perceptions of willingness to perform could lead to tension and frustration in the work environment. Employees who perceive their colleagues as less capable may perceive this as an injustice and feel demotivated. This could in turn have a negative impact on productivity and thus on the company's success.

Furthermore, the survey results show that the importance of performance in private life decreases with age. However, the importance of performance in professional life increases with age. This finding is relevant for the financial industry as it could have an impact on the design of insurance and pension products. Older people who place greater value on performance in their professional lives could increasingly look for security options in the work context.

Overall, the survey shows that the perception of motivation varies among the German population and varies with age and political orientation. This could lead to various changes in various areas of society, including the financial sector.
