5. Engagement is something that many organizations measure and manage: the happiest employees report that they are 108 percent more engaged than their least happy colleagues. And they have 82 percent more job satisfaction too. 6. Without motivation nothing gets done: employees who are most happy are 50 percent more motivated than people who are least happy at work. 7. People in the top happiness category feel that they achieve their potential 40 percent more than unhappy employees. That’s probably because they embrace goals 30 percent more and they’re up for 27 percent more in terms of challenges too.
Some goals are obviously more compelling than others – think of all those New Year’s resolutions that turn to dust, often in a matter of days. The goals that you’ll work hardest to achieve are the ones you set yourself and that match with your interests, talents, and values. Then you’ll work harder towards them because you’ll want to invest more time and energy trying to get there. If they’re yours, they’re just more motivating. Lying at the heart of this means ensuring that your goals are aligned with what your organization not only wants but is in a position to offer you: the higher the compatibility between you both, the more you’ll deliver.
But what did it all mean? Standing back and just eyeballing this you can see that the great news is that the world doesn’t divide into the workers and the shirkers. Most people want a feeling of getting somewhere at work because they’re good at what they do. Moreover, a sense of purpose matters. Almost everyone I’ve interviewed at any point in this research has told me that they want to add to or enhance something bigger than just themselves. So it’s easy to see how making progress in your career, being good at your job, and doing something worthwhile walk hand-in-hand.
