Abstract:
Perhaps the highest desire of human beings is to be motivated at the highest and fullest level. People want to love wholeheartedly whatever they are doing. However, this desire is rarely fulfilled by most people. Employees’ motivation at work is typically partial and limited. This paper proposes a solution to this problem by introducing a new concept, Job Wholeheartedness (JW), which aims at helping people recognize and develop total love and motivation for their jobs. With an awareness and understanding of JW, people will be able to achieve the highest level of motivation, and thus work at their fullest potential.
