More Than Job Sanctification by Kristen Weir- Summary

    The arthur, Kisten Weir points out that although working takes a huge part in most adults life, a report shows that 70 percent of American workers are either “not engaged” or “actively disengaged” in their work. This could even lead to the loss of plenty money. The solution to the problem is, to find meanings in work. 
Michael G. Pratt, a professor says there are many ways to find why a person does something. Through the pride of doing their job well, the ability to support their family, the sense of achievement and the closer relationship shared with co-workers, multiple benefits will come across. The author then uses zookeepers as an example. Even though they are not in a high social position, those zookeepers feel more involved and have personal connection with the job and tend to do their best at work.
    Jane E. Dutton, a professor in the last part indicates “job crafting” to be a method for finding meanings at work. Through spending more time to explore positive aspects at work and moreover changing the values towards work, can shape a job and creat meaning. Nevertheless, job crafting could be used in some bad ways to workers. But if people practice it positively, improvements are to be seen.
