How do we explain why people vary in their happiness or satisfaction with their workplace? Research has revealed a core set of ingredients based on human nature.
Research has identified the key ingredients for work satisfaction, including purpose, respect, and autonomy.
No single workplace likely contains all six ingredients, but the recipe serves as an aspirational blueprint. So what is the value in articulating a recipe for work satisfaction? Well, without such a recipe the likelihood of making progress toward the ideal is much less likely. Also, the recipe can serve as a guide for evaluating a work setting, and deciding whether you want to join . Last, knowing the recipe empowers you to possibly create ways to meet at least some of the core needs for yourself, and perhaps even your coworkers.Satisfying work is purposeful; it makes a difference.
