What do the researchers say?
Robert Waldinger (MD), a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said that teamwork is not only necessary to increase productivity but also for the morale of the employees. But due to a lack of teamwork, the employees remain unhappy and it also affects the quality of their life and work.
Loneliness in the workplace
The study found that employees in jobs that lacked human interaction and were not provided with opportunities to interact with peers were the most unhappy about their jobs. Waldinger explained that if you are more connected to people, you feel more satisfied with your job. In its absence, a person feels lonely and remains unhappy.
Work-from-Home Culture
This culture has become more prevalent since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in sectors such as tech, food delivery and online retail service. These employees often work away from colleagues and struggle with loneliness.
Loneliness even in client-facing jobs
People who do client-facing jobs also see a mixed form of stress and apathy. They are in the job role of customer service and are faced with abusive language from angry customers. Such employees also remain unhappy about their jobs, the study revealed.
