Thank? God Its Monda?y By Jyoti? Thott?am [1] As resea?rcher?s in psych?ology?, econo?mics and organ?izati?onal behav?ior have been gradu?ally disco?verin?g, the exper?ience? of being? happy? at work looks? very simil?ar acros?s profe?ssion?s. Peopl?e, who love their? jobs, feel chall?enged? by their? work but in contr?ol of it. They have bosse?s who make them feel appre?ciate?d (enjoy?ed) and co-worke?rs they like. They can find meani?ng (inter?est/ signi?fican?ce) in whate?ver they do. And they arent just lucky?. It takes? real effor?t to reach? that subli?me state? (statu?s). [2] An even bigge?r obsta?cle, thoug?h （howev?er）, may be our low expec?tatio?ns on the job. Love, famil?y, commu?nity (socie?ty) — those? are suppo?sed (thoug?ht) to be the true sourc?es of happi?ness, while? work simpl?y (only) gives? us the means? (tools?) to enjoy? them. Mihal?y Csiks?zentm?ihaly?i, who coine?d the term flow (happi?ness-ebb), which? adher?ents (suppo?rter) of posit?ive psych?ology? would? use to descr?ibe the job-induc?ed highs? (high spiri?t/ happi?ness), says that disti?nctio?n (diffe?rence?) is a false? one. Anyth?ing can be enjoy?able if the eleme?nts of flow are prese?nt, he write?s in his book Good Busin?ess. Withi?n that frame?work, doing? a seemi?ngly borin?g job can be a sourc?e of great?er fulfi?llmen?t (achie?vemen?t) than one (anybo?dy) ever thoug?ht possi?ble. [3] Csiks?zentm?ihaly?i encou?rages? (urge) us to reach? a state? (level?/ statu?s) in which? work is an exten?sion of what we natur?ally want to do. Immer?sed (absor?bed) in the pleas?ure of work, we dont worry? about? its ultim?ate (final?) rewar?d. If that sound?s out of reach?, take heart? (try one’s best). You may soon get some encou?ragem?ent from the head offic?e (headq?uarte?rs). A growi?ng (incre?asing?) body (amoun?t) of resea?rch is demon?strat?ing (showi?ng) that happy? worke?rs not only are happi?er in life but are also cruci?al (most impor?tant) to the healt?h of a compa?ny.
