stability. This improves confidence and allows individuals to feel in control of their
lives (Coetzee and Schreuder, 2021).
Social Connectedness
Work creates opportunities for people to interact with others. Employees build
relationships with co workers, supervisors, and clients. These relationships help
people feel that they belong and are part of something bigger. Work also connects
individuals to society and allows them to contribute to their communities (Coetzee
and Schreuder, 2021).
Self Determination
Work allows individuals to express who they are and what they value. When people
enjoy their work, they feel motivated and satisfied. It also helps them grow their skills
and abilities. This creates a sense of purpose and meaning, as people feel that their
work reflects their identity and personal goals (Coetzee and Schreuder, 2021).
1.2 Sources of Meaning of Work
Individuation
This refers to how work helps a person feel independent and valuable. Individuals
see themselves as capable and important through the work they do. It strengthens
personal identity and self worth (Coetzee and Schreuder, 2021).
