Passion Is Contagious

Passionate women in the workforce are enthusiastic and optimistic leaders that inspire others to rise. A study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that employees who had a strong passion for their work were more likely to engage in “job crafting” behaviors. This refers to the concept of proactively changing one’s job tasks, relationships, and perceptions to make the job more meaningful and engaging. In other words, passion in the workforce results in higher levels of job satisfaction, engagement, commitment, and proactive behaviors. Above all, individuals create a more joyful life for themselves with lower levels of burnout. Passionate leaders transform entire companies, and perhaps the lives of each and every one of their employees.
