Satisfying Gigs
In today's dynamic work landscape, job satisfaction correlated with stress is a prevalent issue affecting employees across diverse industries.
Research science is steadfast in the exploration of the intricate relationship between job satisfaction, psychological needs, and overall wellbeing. One theory that’s often a counter point is The Self-Determination Theory, which sheds light on the connection between daily activities, personality traits, and happiness.
There is a surprising impact of being agreeable on stress levels. How able one is to control their extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experiences plays a role in overall satisfaction. One study uncovered the psychological needs that can mediate personality states and daily emotions, providing valuable insights into effective stress management.
Understanding the role of mediators in the workplace—whether they be tasks, colleagues, or leaders—is helpful to explore. The value of identifying and addressing the root causes of stress can pave the way for a healthier and more satisfying work environment.
