1. Work may sometimes seem like hell, but when we haven’t got it, we miss it. We miss it, w ewant it and perhaps we even need it. Everyone wants to be valued and as alary is proof that we matter.
2. Not any job will do, however. Housework and voluntary work tend to be seen as non-jobs. In our work-centred culture, a ‘proper job’ means paid employment. Being paid for a job is better for ourself-esteem. Of course, we would also prefe rwork to be useful and interesting, as well as paid.
But you don’t have to enjoy your job to get psychological lbenefits from it. According to some experts, achieving unenjoyable tasks during our work actually contributes to our sense of well- being.
3. The obligation to be in a particular place at a particular time, working as part of a team towards a common goal, gives us a sense of structure and purpose that we find difficult to impose on ourselves. For a lot of us, the workplace has also taken over from the community as the place of human contact. For most of us, work often functions as a social club, an information network, an informal dating agency and a marriage bureau.
4. Although genuine workaholics are uncommon, many of us are job addicts without realizing it. When we can’t work for whatever reason, we show similar signs to real addicts who are deprived of their ‘fix’-we become irritable and lethargic. Among newly-retiredmen, death rates increase significantly in the first six months after leaving employment. For most of their lives, their personality, self-esteem and status have been defined by work; without it, they lose thei rappetite for life.
5. Life wasn’t always so driven by employment, however. Work inthe pre-industrial age was task-oriented not time-structured, focusing not on money but on tasks necessaryf or survival. Whole communities worked together so there was less division between wor kand ‘freetime’. The Industrial Revolution radically changed how people worked. Suddenly, work was no longe rstructured by seasons, but by the clock. Work was separated from the rest of life, andbegantoprovidemoneyratherthanfoodandgoods.
6. More recently, the revolution in Information Technology has againc hanged the nature of work and employment. The workplace itself may become redundant. Two million employees in the UK now work from home, keeping in touch via email and phone. Man yemployers say tha tworking ‘remotely’ improves productivity, as workers are happier and waste less time commuting. There are downsides too, however, as workers lose touch with the workplace and people there.
44. Being paid to work makes many people feel better.
45. Non-paid work is just as good aspaid work in terms of increasing self-esteem.
46. Doing tasks you don’t enjoy at work is always bad for your mental health.
47. Most people find it difficult to find a purpose to the day without work.
48. The social aspect of work is very important for the majority of people.
49. When people retire, they sometimes feel less happy than when they worked.
50. Two million workers in the UK work ‘remotely’.
