Most jobs that we consider good are those that fulfill our basic lower level needs of food, security, clothing, shelter income and productive work. If we are n0t being paid as much as we feel we should for our level of education or if job demands don't provide the intellecutal stimulation we had hoped for, we experience unhappiness and as a result often seek other employment.
We have higher level needs like self-esteem, companionship, affection, and an increasing desire to feel that we are employing ourselves in the most effective way possible. We demand that our jobs play their part in moving us along the path to fulfillment.
