Stills from "The World"
What kind of work is good work? There is no standard answer to this question, and some people will think that a job that makes more money is a good job; some people will think that a job with status is a good job; some people will think that a stable work within the staff is a good job; and some people think that being able to do what they like is a good job.
A person's view of work at different stages is different, because of different views, the demand points for work will be different, so that different evaluations of work will be made.
In the TV series "The World of Man", Zhou Bingyi is the son of Zhou's parents, who responded to the call of the state to the Corps when he was young, and later after resuming the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Peking University through his own efforts, and after graduating from Peking University, he worked in the province and became the youngest deputy department-level cadre in the province at the age of forty.
Zhou Bingyi is a model of youth and achievement in the eyes of outsiders, with a decent job, status, stable income, and good welfare, but Zhou Bingyi is always sullen and unhappy, and wants to change jobs, why is this? Let's take a look at what's going on.
It is recommended to pay attention to @ Lin Amy first, and then look slowly, in case you accidentally slip your hand and can't find it.
01 The current situation of Zhou Bingyi
Zhou Bingyi studied philosophy at Peking University, and after graduation, he did research work in the province, and his work belonged to a very relaxed system, and he worked every day with a newspaper, a cup of tea, and occasionally wrote a research report.
Every time he wanted to write a research report, Zhou Bingyi would go out to do in-depth investigation, and after careful analysis, he wrote a research report, and every time the leader felt that his report was well written.
Zhou Bingyi has performed well in his work and his popularity is good, so he was promoted very quickly, and he was promoted to deputy department level cadre at the age of forty, and he was the youngest deputy department level cadre in the province.
Zhou Bingyi spends a lot of effort writing research reports every time, in fact, not to promote, but to hope that his report can help the development of the province. However, the leaders only saved his reports each time, and did not really put them into practice.
Zhou Bingyi felt that the work he did was just talking on paper, there was no meaning, and he was very disappointed in his heart.
02 Zhou Bingyi's work motivation
A person's motivation to work is closely related to a person's needs.
American psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed the hierarchy of needs theory, people's motivation is determined by human needs, human needs are divided into physiological needs, security needs, belonging needs, respect needs and self-realization of five levels.
No matter what period of time a person is, there will be a demand that dominates, and the demand is formed and satisfied from low to high.
When Zhou Bingyi was in the army in the early days, the whole environment was relatively difficult at that time, and the work was to make some money, to be able to eat and wear warmly, to be healthy, and to be free of illness and disaster. At that time, Zhou Bingyi's needs were not high, that is, basic physiological needs and safety needs.
Zhou Bingyi peking university after graduation to work, in the system of stable work, stable income, so no longer have to worry about physiological needs and security needs, Zhou Bingyi's work needs rose to the level of "belonging and love", that is, the need to enjoy the status in the group.
Zhou Bingyi works hard and is helpful at work, so he is very popular with colleagues and leaders, and his promotion is very fast, and Zhou Bingyi's belonging needs are quickly met.
According to the theory of the hierarchy of needs, after the low-level needs are met, the demand will rise, Zhou Bingyi in the work to meet the physiological needs, security needs, belonging needs of the three levels of needs, he yearns for higher needs, that is, respect for needs and self-realization.
After analysis, Zhou Bingyi found that his existing job position could not meet the two needs of respect and self-realization, because the research reports he wrote were always saved and not implemented in the development work of the province, it was completely on paper, he wanted to do something practical to make his work more valuable, so he came up with the idea of changing jobs.
03 The meaning of work
People in different environments have different views on the meaning of work, which is well understood according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.
It's not that a job with a stable, low-income job is a good job, and it's not that a busy job isn't a good job. There is no high or low work, only suitable and unsuitable, and work that meets your needs is good work.
From the perspective of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, after the low-level needs are basically satisfied, its incentive effect will be reduced, and the high-level needs will become the main reason for promoting behavior.
In today's era, people's living standards have improved, food and clothing are no longer the needs of people's work, and people are more pursuing respected, valuable and meaningful work. Therefore, when choosing a job, high salary is not the standard by which people measure the quality of work, and more and more people will consider choosing to do work that they are interested in, meaningful and valuable.
