Work
expectations are those things people consider likely to
happen in their job situation, either now or in the
future.
Whether
spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, expectations have a
powerful impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors,
and play a key role in driving our attitudes. |
Research
shows that people who have clearly defined,
well-communicated expectations find more satisfaction and
success in their work than people whose expectations go
unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ
satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased
productivity and reduced turnover.
In a
typical employment situation, certain expectations —
such as salary, hours, and job duties — are clearly
understood by both employer and employee. Other
expectations, however, are so intimately linked to an
individual’s concept of work that they oftentimes go
unspoken or unacknowledged.
