Job Satisfaction
The article on “9 Out of 10 People Are Willing to Earn Less Money to Do More-
Meaningful Work clearly describes how I feel about my work. I would instead work for less
pay in a job that has meaning for me, than having a high paying job that is not meaningful.
According to Mathis et.al, a worker can work harder in a job that is highly meaningful and
satisfying leading to high productivity. A worker who finds meaning in their work is likely to
spend more time at work, such as doing an extra hour a week and having less paid vacation days
per year. (Veltman, 2018). Employees should seek more than just a paycheck from their job.
They should expect meaning in what they do; this will make them work more effectively. The
workers who find meaning in their work are less likely to quit their jobs than those who are
dissatisfied with their work.
Career success, in my opinion, entails maintaining a decent degree of financial security
when doing work you love, as well as discovering that you are both satisfied and content with
your life and career choices. Career success is diminished if you enjoy what you do, but the job
does not result in financial self-sufficiency. Career success is also diminished if you earn a high
salary but lack pleasure or enthusiasm in your chosen career sector. True career success demands
that the two are harmonized (Gardiner, 2016). Individuals who pursue meaningful career success
understand that money and titles are not enough. They understand that for it to be really
meaningful, they must still feel inner harmony and joy. If you are well compensated and have the
profession of your dreams, but your job leads you to be sad, disappointed, and perhaps even
depressed, you would most likely not feel successful. And if you're happy, satisfied, and pleased
with your chosen profession but unable to afford simple requirements, you're unlikely to feel
effective either.
