Growing your happiness at work starts here!
Key Take-Aways:
- Engagement means different things to different people, but work engagement is a positive, fulfilling, affective-motivational state of work-related wellbeing that can be seen as the antipode of job burnout.
- Job crafters shape the boundaries that define their jobs in three main ways. Task-crafting, relational crafting and cognitive crafting.
- Engaged employees have a sense of energetic and effective connection with their work activities and they see themselves as able to deal well with the demands of their job. This is something that is very valuable for employers as engaged employees are more productive
Key Quotes:
- Nowadays we take too little time to reflect and really feel and notice what’s going on. To take the helicopter view. Zoom in on your own limiting beliefs and see if they are really true or just a mind fuck.
- Anna: “It usually takes time for me to get prepared to work. My desk should be clean (well at least organized). I have to know where I stopped working and what are further goals (I have to have clear goals).”
- Marielle: ”I know when I start to feel cynical, I am just a bit too busy and the time has come to lower my pace.”
