Disagree. Working for yourself would provide none of these but allows you to create all/many of these out of your sheer will. These things are not a pre-condition.
- robertwiblin 10y agoIt doesn't necessarily provide those things certainly. But inasmuch as it makes people fulfilled, it will mostly be because working for yourself is providing those things. :)
- yanilkr 10y agoor there is a simpler explanation. Those 60 studies made assumptions about what a job is and that definition would have excluded working for yourself. The study would still make perfect sense if you look at job as an employment working for some other employer.
- ethbro 10y agoI believe robertwiblin et al.'s point is that ceteris paribus working for yourself that features these characteristics will make you happier than working for yourself and focusing on other things. In the original article, they clearly identify that some things (e.g. competence) can change over the course of a career. Hence "pre-condition" is a strange way to look at the research.
