Dan Ariely: Què ens fa sentir bé de la nostra feina?

Què ens fa sentir bé de la nostra feina?

Què ens motiva a treballar? Contràriament a les creences populars, no són només els diners. Però tampoc és precisament el goig. Sembla que la majoria ens desenvolupem progressant de manera constant i trobant sentit al que fem. L'economista conductual Dan Ariely ens presenta dos experiments impactants que revelen les nostres actituts ingènues i inesperades sobre el sentit a la nostra feina. (Gravat a TEDxRiodelaPlata.)

People are driven by purpose, pride, and progress, not just a paycheck. Even a simple task, like building Lego creations, becomes rewarding when the effort is acknowledged and preserved. When work is ignored or undone, motivation collapses, as seen in experiments where people quit sooner if their contributions are destroyed or overlooked. Small acts of recognition and opportunities for ownership can make work feel meaningful and boost happiness.
