Wouldn't that have to be deincentive like reincentive or disincentive? Although I think recentive has a certain ring to it. So if you were really remotivated and had a lot of recentive would you then be recentful? Or if you couldn't get remotivated would you resent yourself for your lack of recentive? Or, if you were recently recentive but lost your motivation would you then harbor recent resentment for your lack of recentfulness? And now I think I need to call in milum to help sort this all out for me!

Of course, you could always use "motivate", though it doesn't seem to carry the same implication of a specific incentive being given for achieving whatever the goal is. For example, you can motivate someone with supportive words, but to really get a sales rep to do anything, you need to incent them with a nice, fat, monetary carrot.

At least it sounds preferable to a redundancy programme - the usual response to a drop in profitability.
