If you’re in an unfulfilling job or are dissatisfied with your work, it’s possible to get a fresh start no matter what the season. In fact, there are a few strategies that can help you find meaning and enhance your experience even as you slog forward.
A lack of fulfillment in your job can have intense effects. It can derail your motivation, your energy, and even your performance. And these, in turn, get in the way of your happiness at work and can impact your overall happiness outside of work too.
For many people, it’s hard to find meaning at work. In fact, half of workers in the U.S. reported that they lacked satisfaction in their work, and 38% said their job was just a way to get by, according to the Pew Research Center. In addition, half of people globally say their job fails to give them a sense of meaning, based on a survey by PwC.
So how do you create meaning when you lack it? And how do you set up the conditions for fulfillment in your work? Here are a handful of strategies that will make a difference.
Stay dedicated
One of the key ways to improve your experience at work is to stay dedicated to it. It’s tempting to check out, and it can be tough to devote yourself emotionally to a job that isn’t satisfying. Still, do your best to perform well, participate in meetings, show up on time, and follow through on your work.
Sometimes we wait to feel satisfied with our jobs before we get motivated to perform well, but research published by the Association for Psychological Science shows that employees who approach their work with optimism, dedication, and focus are more productive and more engaged. Their positivity ends up creating an upward spiral.
When you repeatedly behave with dedication, it will become a habit, with each action taking less conscious effort. You’ll also send yourself a message that your work matters. And even more importantly, that you matter.
