The search
The study assessed the participants' jobs and other aspects of their lives through interviews conducted every two years. Based on them and following their developments over the decades, it was possible to to infer that two factors were decisive for a job to be considered unhappy: loneliness and stress.
solitary positions
Those jobs that require less proximity between employees were considered the worst in the world by the study. The lack of human interaction, and the failure to create meaningful bonds, makes workers unhappy.
After all, we humans are a social species, so creating relationships is essential, especially at work, an environment that occupies a large part of our lives and is strongly linked to the identity own.
In this way, jobs where we have the possibility of being closer to people contribute to a feeling of satisfaction and greater efficiency at work. So explains the professor of psychiatry and director of the study, Robert Waldinger.
stressful jobs
Another aspect evaluated by scholars, and which proved to be decisive in discovering the worst jobs, was the levels of stress to which the individual is subject. Just as loneliness is a hallmark of the development of an unhappy job, stress also leads to the same result.
Especially in positions where you need to deal directly with customers, such as telemarketers. Or jobs related to industry and technology, in addition to delivery services, such as truck drivers, which, due to the associated loneliness, are among the worst professions.
Finally, the study was also able to prove the aspects associated with happier jobs, which are those that allow the professional and personal development of the worker. In addition, they provide a sense of purpose and meaning and reconcile work and personal life.
