WHY PEOPLE WORK

Leonard R. Sayles

Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness sand contentment. We're all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life -- the goods and servs that make sible our modern civilization. But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more intangible, but more crucial, psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.

Historically, work has been associated with slery and sin and punishment. And in our own day we are used to hearing the traditional complaints: "I can't wait for my vacation," "I wish I could stay home today," "My boss treats me poorly," "I've got too much work to do and not enough time to do it." Against this background, it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behioral scientists he come to accept the itive contribution of work to the individual's happiness and sense of personal achiment. Work is more than a necessity for most human beings; it is the focus of their lives, the source of their identity and creativity.

Rather than a punishment or a burden, work is the opportunity to realize one's potential. Many psychiatrists heading mental health clinics he observed its healing effect. A good many patients who feel depressed in clinics gain renewed self-confidence when gainfully employed and lose some, if not all, of their most acute symptoms. Increasingly, institutions dealing with mental health problems are establishing workshops wherein those too sick to get a job in "outside" industry can work, while ry effort is exerted to arrange "real" jobs for those well enough to work outside.

And the rrse is true, too. For large numbers of people, the absence of work is harmful to their health. Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the "What do I do with myself?" question, n though there may be no financial cares. Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don't he their jobs to go to, and must fend for themselves. It has been observed that unemployment, quite aside from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals deteriorate rapidly when jobless.

But why? Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction? A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job, by the activity of accomplishing.

Pride in Accomplishment

The human being longs for a sense of being accomplished, of being able to do things, with his hand, with his mind, with his will. Each of us wants to feel he or she has the ability to do soming that is meaningful and that serves as a tribute to our inherent abilities.

It is easiest to see this in the craftan who lovingly shapes some cheap material into an object that may be either useful or beautiful or both. You can see the carpenter or bricklayer stand aside and ade the product of his personal skill.

But n where there is no obvious end product that is solely attributable to one person's skill, researchers he found that employees find pride in accomplishment. Our own research in hospitals suggests that n the houskeeping and laundry staffs take pride in the fact that in their own ways they are ing to cure sick people -- and thus accomplishing good deal.

We're often misled by the complaints surrounding difficult work; deep down most people regard their won capacity to conquer the tough job as the mark of their own unique personality. Complaining is just part of working After all, how else do you know who you are, except as you can demonstrate the ability of your mind to control you li ad hands and words? You are, in significant measure, what you can do.

Some are deceived into thinking that people like to store up energy, to rest and se themselves as much as sible. Just the opite. It is energy expenditure that is satisfying.

Just watch an employee who must deal with countless other people because his or her job is at some central point in a communications network: a salean at a busy counter, a stock broker on the phone, a customer representative. They will l you how much skill and experience it takes to answer countless questions and handle various kinds of personalities ry hour of the day. Not ryone can interact with such persistence and over long hours, but those who do, pride themselves on a distinctive ability that contributes mightily to the running of the organization.

But work is more than accomplishment and pride in being able to command the job, because except for a few craften and artists most work takes place "out in the world," with an through other people.

Esprit de corps

Perhasps an example will make the point:

I remember viewing a half dozen me in a chair factory whose job it was to bend sral pieces of steel and attach them so that a folding chair would result. While there were ten or twelve of these "teams" that worked toger, one in particular was known for its perfect coordination and lightning-like efforts. The men knew they were good. They would work spurts for twenty or thirty minutes before taking a break -- to show themselves, bystanders and other groups what it was to be superbly skilled and self-controlled, to be the best in the factory.

When I talked with them, each expressed enormous pride in being a part of the fastest, best team. And this sense of belonging to an accomplished work group is one of the distinctive satisfactions of the world of work.

One further word about work group satisfactions. Unlike may other aspects of life, relationships among people at work tend to be r, less complicated, somewhat less emotional. This is not to say there aren't arguments and jealousies, but, on the whole, behioral research discloses that human relations at work are just easier, perhaps because they are more regular and predictable and thus r to adjust to than the sporadic, the more intense and less regular relationships in the community. And the work group also gently pressures its members to learn how to adjust to one another so that the "rough edges" are worked off because people know they must do certain things with and through one another each day.

Beyond the team and the work group, there is the organization, wher it be company or hospital or university. The same pride in being part of a well-coordinated, successful unit is derived from being part of a larger collectivity. Working for a company that is though of as being part of the best in the community can provide employees with both status and self-confidence. They assume, usually with good reason, that others regard them more highly, n envy them, and that they are more competent than the erage because of this association with a "winner," a prestigious institution. We in truth bask in the reflected glory of the institution, and we seek ways of asserting our membership so that others will know and can recognize our good fortune.
