Love your job?
Maybe it’s the pantry full of granola, fresh fruit, and veggies that are free for employees to nosh on at work. Or telecommuting options that allow you to spend more time with your family than your steering wheel. Maybe you feel you’re making a difference with the work that you do. But chances are it’s not just one thing that contributes to that lovin’ feeling.
“Loving your job really has to do with the intersection of the work you’re doing and the context you’re doing the work in,” said David Ballard, head of the Washington, D.C.-based American Psychological Association’s (APA’s) Center for Organizational Excellence.
