Why Do We Work? Unearthing How Organizations Can Tap Into The Motivations Of Their Employees
Why do we go to work? Well, most likely, we do so in order to make a living and provide for ourselves and others. And yet, understanding the reasons of why we work transcends mere economic necessity; it delves into the areas of culture, societal norms, and individual aspirations. Culture shapes our perspectives and attitudes towards labor; it also defines the relationship between employees and the organizations they serve.ย
Cultures around the world charge work with various meanings, whether it's viewed as a means of sustenance, a path to self-fulfillment, or a communal obligation. Whether driven by a collective ethos emphasizing communal harmony or by an individualistic pursuit of personal fulfillment, cultural values intricately interlace with work attitudes, influencing everything from work-life balance preferences to the extent of loyalty towards employers.ย
