The Surprising Key to Being Happy at Work: William MacAskill, author of Doing Good Better, says the key to job happiness isn't following your passion. It's about finding a personal fit.
Research shows that the most consistent predictor of job satisfaction is engaging work, which can be broken down into five factors:
Independence To what extent do you have control over how you go about your work?
Sense of completion To what extent does the job involve completing a whole piece of work so your contribution to the end product is easily visible?
Variety To what extent does the job require you to perform a range of different activities, using different skills and talents?
Feedback from the job How easy is it to know whether you’re performing well or badly?
Contribution To what extent does your work “make a difference,” as defined by positive contributions to the well-being of other people?
Each of these factors also correlates with motivation, productivity and commitment to your employer. Moreover, they’re similar to those required to develop flow, the pleasurable state of being so immersed in an activity that you’re completely free of distractions and lose track of time. Some psychologists argue this is the key to having genuinely satisfying experiences.
