This is very true, but not sure how to solve it.

For a job where the "reward" (mainly salary) is fronted and somewhat fixed (no bonus or bonus isn't worth it), some (even most) people basically work as little as possible to not get themselves fired.

But it would also be challenging to change the rewarding structure to something similar to salesman.

profit sharing.

This happens at the executive level, because it correctly aligns the incentives. But somehow, the run of the mill employee cannot be trusted to think for themselves and be incentivized?

Profit sharing works at every level, just the people at the top don't want to give a cut to those below them. So it's pure greed.
