Look around you. There's a good chance you'll see co-workers who are unmotivated, disengaged, and just calling it in. Last year, Gallup's research showed only 36% of the American workforce are engaged in their work. The rest of us are less than fully committed to the work we do each day. But we want to be, right? There's plenty of science out there that shows finding meaning in your work increases happiness. Meaningful work increases motivation and empowerment, not to mention job satisfaction. Yet about 60% of American workers aren't getting this kind of positivity from their careers. If you're in that 60% of the workforce who are disengaged at work and you're tired of just going through the motions, this article will help you build a more rewarding career path. We assign significance to our work in a variety of ways. Some find meaning in receiving a paycheck to provide for their family or achieve personal goals. Some may take more pride in performing their job well. Those in service-oriented positions may be fulfilled by helping people or doing something to serve the greater good. What about the rest of us? Sometimes this is all a matter of perspective. You can have a manual laborer perfectly happy in their work and proud of what they built. There are also corporate administrators who make five times as much sitting in meetings all day with nothing concrete to show for it...and who may feel completely miserable. The reality in these two examples is that finding meaning in your work doesn't necessarily equate to money or a college education. Most jobs have difficult days. What can you do right now to help move you toward the kind of job fulfillment that we all want but very few of us have? Human beings want job satisfaction, but few people know how to get it. These tips are the next step toward achieving what may seem unattainable right now -- but change can be yours if you take the steps necessary to finally get the career fulfillment you want and deserve.Need a more fulfilling job?
