What fuels me, what drains me!
Each of us has a unique profile of personal preferences and each professional environment (ex. job tasks) presents a unique profile of requirements. As highlighted in the works of John Holland, the greater the congruence between our personal preferences and the characteristics of a job, the greater our job satisfaction at work should be. This author is in fact famous for having developed a typology of professional personalities based on six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising and Conventional. Each one of us has a greater or lesser preference for each of these types. Jobs also require us to demonstrate certain preferences for them. But is there congruence?
