"In a society with seemingly little appetite for work, human resources managers have long struggled to motivate staff. Now the full extent of their difficulties has been revealed by a study showing widespread reluctance to assume managerial roles in French companies.

More than half (56 per cent) of human resources directors in the country said some staff had refused promotions to middle-management roles. The average elsewhere was 36 per cent. The research was published by Cegos, the professional training group, which interviewed 4,271 people in their first management jobs and 427 HR directors in France, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Singapore.

Laurence Ballereaud, of Cegos, said the reluctance to become a manager was a "French specificity".

... A poll commissioned by BFM, the news organisation, asked people whether they would be prepared to work harder to earn more money. Fifty-one per cent said the idea sounded good, while 49 per cent disagreed. The poll also found that most French employees thought they worked hard enough."
