I don't have time at the moment to read the article in detail, but it sounds like the experiment tested non-meditators on work tasks immediately following a meditation session. I don't believe that this has much bearing on the overall levels of motivation on someone who does or does not meditate in general; it's easy to imagine that right after a relaxing mindfulness session people would be a bit sleepy and less inclined to carry out experimental makework tasks dutifully, but the meaningful benefits of meditation would presumably last much longer than such drowsiness.
