Love of Work

How do you develop your love of work?

The word “love” itself connote a positive emotion defined is several ways, but with similar deepness applicable to relationships and attachments with God, human, animals, places, things and events.  Love needs reciprocation in mundane sense, an award of satisfaction derived from the object of such affection.  What tangible pleasure is there that I get out for loving my work, but those of which are mostly measurable in terms of monetary value.  But of course some are qualitative in nature like the sense of importance and fulfillment as a person most especially if one’s talent and inclination matched the nature of work, there is also the feeling of acceptance and comfort among co-workers.  If these three touchable and indescribable benefits are not present in one’s job, is there a chance for love of work to grow?  

We love our comfort zone, especially in our place of work where we spent the bigger portion of our time and effort in order to receive the desired pay-off mainly for economic reasons and perhaps the expectations of a working community packed with psycho-emotional-social attributes.  Love of work is perhaps a relative term, a state of condition that depends on the presence of such factors favorable to the worker to get satisfaction and fulfillment at work.

    Let me put it this way. At least from the time the world saw the second world war, four generations of workers have come to the fore. The latest of them is called the millenarians. They are growing up side-by-side with the unrestrained improvements of ITC and globalization. Preceding the millenarians are the Generation Y. These group of workers were born more or less during the Reaganomics, or during the post-Cold War. Before the Generation Y were the Generation X. Actually, since Generation X, the work psychologists have noticed that such values as loyalty and the traits like organizational commitment are becoming dearth. This is specifically noticeable because the period of the Baby Boomers, or the generation immediately after the World War II, were known for their dedication not only to their work but also to their companies. For the Baby Boomers, their first company is their last company.
    Love of work? I think it’s more or less a generational characteristic.
