Maslow's hierarchy of needs tells us that there is a hierarchy of individual needs. When the basic level of needs is satisfied, the higher level of needs arise. These higher-level needs include a sense of belonging and identity.
Belonging is an individual's emotional need to be accepted as part of a relationship or a group, it is an important pillar of an individual's self-identity, and it is the psychological basis of human existence. This psychological need is a need for security. Whether or not a sense of belonging is fulfilled can have a huge impact on an individual's physical and mental health. Psychological research shows that everyone is afraid of loneliness and loneliness, and they all want warmth, help and love, so as to eliminate or reduce their inner loneliness and loneliness, so as to gain psychological security. If an individual's sense of belonging is satisfied, the individual will receive good social support; Conversely, the individual's body and mind will be adversely affected.
Lack of belonging increases a person's risk of depression, and severe lack of belonging can trigger a lot of anxiety and even adversely affect the individual's cardiovascular system, endocrine system, immune system, and even genes.
In the long course of life, the need for belonging manifests itself in different forms. In infancy, individuals satisfy their sense of belonging with passive attachment, so it can be seen that babies are attached to their mothers, and young children are attached to family members and playmates. With the maturity of the individual's mind and the generation of self-esteem, the individual begins to expand the satisfaction of belonging to the identity beyond passive attachment, so it can be seen that the individual is eager to be recognized by classmates and teachers at school; When you enter the society, you are eager to be recognized by your colleagues and superiors.
It can be seen that as individuals age, especially in adulthood, the satisfaction of the sense of belonging depends to a large extent on the recognition of society and the group. In contrast, group recognition is particularly important for the satisfaction of individual belonging. Therefore, for individuals who enter the workplace and officially become social people, a good team not only provides a reliable economic income, but more importantly, provides a platform for individuals to show themselves, and has the opportunity to be recognized by the society and the group with the help of personal efforts, which meets the inner spiritual needs of individuals and satisfies the individual's sense of belonging.
According to a Gallup survey of workplace workers, in most cases, the behavior of the boss is the main cause of workplace dissatisfaction. It can be seen that the boss is an important factor in determining the quality of the psychological "habitat" of employees. Therefore, in the process of finding a "habitat", it becomes extremely important to sift through and find bad bosses.
Psychologists point out that while most bad bosses may present themselves as good bosses during interviews, some of them are actually quite narcissistic, showing extreme selfishness and a penchant for manipulating others. This excessive selfishness indicates that they have bad motives for doing things. And a person's motivation can reveal the deepest secrets of his heart and his perception of the world. The more noble and pure the motive, the more the boss can see the overall situation, the more far-reaching the pattern, and the more he can think about the problem from the perspective of his subordinates.
The process of recognizing a person is actually the process of constructing an impression of a person. In this process, the cognitive structure of the individual will make the individual subconsciously have a certain framework and pattern of expectation for others, and will be greatly affected by the cognitive structure and impression formation process of the person who knows others. When the information obtained by an individual from the other party is inconsistent with his or her own cognition, the information will be restructured or even distorted according to his own cognitive structure, which will affect the accuracy of judgment. Therefore, in order to avoid making the mistake of generalizing and making yourself miss a good boss and a good platform, you need to make a prudent choice on the basis of comprehensive analysis and scientific investigation.
When choosing a "habitat", individuals should consider not only the boss, but also the team. Because the environment of the team is especially important for the growth of the individual.
The impact of the environment on people is enormous. As a result of assimilation, individuals are influenced by their environment, and their words, actions, and even thoughts will change to a greater or lesser extent. For this reason, individuals should pay attention to the team they are in when choosing a "habitat".
In general, when looking at a team, look at the team's working atmosphere, the team's goals, and the relationships between team members. In this regard, we can refer to the Holland type theory proposed by John Holland, a professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University in the United States. In this theory, Holland proposes the impact of the individual's characteristic fit with the environment on the individual's career, in which the hexagonal model divides individuals into the following six types according to their personality traits
Each type of individual has obvious characteristics, and individuals should clarify their team suitability according to their own personality traits, so as to choose the right team.
