22 / MAY.JUNE.2014 RINKMAGAZINE.COM loria wasn't happy at work. It wasn't that she hated her job or anything like that. Her co-workers were fine and she didn't mind the type of work she did. In fact, she thought she did it pretty well. Of course, she wanted more money, but who didn't? No, something else was bothering her. At some basic level she simply didn't enjoy coming to work. Whatever excitement or sense of accomplishment she used to get had been replaced by a lack of motivation. Gloria's issue was a common one.

At times like these, it can be difficult for anyone to enjoy work and find the old levels of motivation and energy. To help Gloria and the millions like her, it is necessary to look at the underlying causes. Why do any of us enjoy work? And can we reignite those causes in our own work environment? The answer is yes, there are at least six different reasons why we enjoy work, ignoring money, of course. PHOTO: BIGSTOCK.COM BURNOUT Address the 6 Motivators for Enjoying Work by ERICK LAUBER, PH.D.
