What are you doing to be happy in your job?
People are not happy at their job because they don't feel it is as challenging as it was when they took up this role. As managers, we need to keep looking for challenging tasks to be assigned to individuals, or make job rotation to keep people motivated and feel challenged...
There are various possible reasons why many people are not happy with their jobs such as :
- Their work performance is not so appreciated by their bosses although such employees feel they are already doing their best
- They feel that the salary given may not be commensurate or fair to the increasing responsibilities that are required of them
- The working environment might not be suitable to their expectations
- Despite their good performance, credit is not given to whom the credit is due
- Many bosses do not like too aggressive employees that tend to outsmart such bosses
- Many key personnel are required to undertake enormous responsibilities but authority that should go along with such responsibilities is not granted that makes them ineffective in their roles.
- Authority in decision making given to Department Managers might be very limited. When this exists, such managers are unhappy as most of their wishes are not granted by the Higher Management.
Well its depend on many factors with different natures of people
Few of them are:
1- No chances of growth/promoton or no raise.
2- No appreciation from management.
3- No job security
4- Revocation of facilties provided by company
5- Enviroment is not suitable or much restrictions.
6- Long working hours or too much work pressure.
7- Racism, monopoly, politics etc
Through my consulting engagements, I have an amazing opportunity to talk with leaders and employees at different stages in their careers, in a wide range of professions, in a variety of industries. I pay close attention to their performance, work habits and attitudes, and I listen to their complaints, desires and excuses. What I’ve found is that there are many, many people out there who have given up all hope of being happy at work. They no longer believe that a career can challenge, excite and fulfill them. Granted, these people show up to work every day. They sit through meetings, prepare reports, give presentations and meet with clients. They process orders, type in data, call suppliers and check for errors. But they are miserable and checked out, simply going through the motions.
Then there are the employees who are in the same boat – they sit through the same boring meetings, prepare the same reports, process just as many (or more) orders – but they are happy. So what’s the difference? I interviewed hundreds of these happy top performers and surveyed tens of thousands of employees around the country to find out.
The secret to happiness and success: accountability?!My research showed that the main difference between happy employees and unhappy employees was their level of accountability. People with a sense of accountability, rather than entitlement, were both happier and more successful than others, regardless of the circumstances. These happy, successful people shared a core belief: they had the power to steer their own destinies. This belief seemed to make them immune to change, uncertainty and strife – factors that tended to derail others.
Stay challenged. Obstacles are good for you!For years, I had been hearing that only engaged workers deliver top results, and that making employees happy was the answer to productivity. We were supposed to minimize obstacles and make their lives easier. But this research was telling me something completely different! It told me that humans don’t necessarily want easy; they want ownership. They want to overcome challenges and solve problems. They want to know they can make a difference. That’s where true happiness at work comes from.
Whether you’re a manager trying to motivate employees or an employee climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, keep this in mind because it is the key to a happy, high-functioning workforce. Top performers succeed despite their circumstances, bringing greater value to the organization while gaining more personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
sometimes the salary is height and no pressure , but the work does not meet the ambitious
because they are not depends on thair god
There are various reasons for disatisfaction in a job, such as: the job is not the right one for the individual; routinary; working condition; low salary, and so many more. If you feel like you are no longer satisfied with your work, take some moments of reflection on what you really want to do with your life. It's unhealthy and unfair on both your part and on the company if you continue working and compromising the quality of your work performance.
