"Linking job crafting to work engagement: the mediating role of organizational happiness" by Mohammed Yasin Ghadi (January 2024Management Research Review) This article discusses the relationship between job crafting, organizational happiness, and work engagement in the United Arab Emirates. The study finds that job crafting has a positive effect on both organizational happiness and work engagement. The study also finds that organizational happiness partially mediates the relationship between job crafting and work engagement. This suggests that job crafting can lead to increased organizational happiness, which in turn leads to increased work engagement. The authors recommend that HR professionals develop programs and training workshops to help employees craft their jobs. Our notes: Self-determinism (SDT) is a theory of human motivation and personality development. It was proposed by American psychologists Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan in the early 1980s. According to the SDT, humans are born with three basic psychological needs: Autonomy: People have the right to choose and control their own actions. Competence: The perception that one is capable of completing tasks and achieving goals. Relatedness: People develop close, trusting, and supportive relationships with others. SDT believes that when these basic needs are met, people feel more motivated, energized, and fulfilled. Conversely, when these basic needs are threatened, people feel powerless, meaningless, and defeated. SDT divides motivation into intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation refers to the activities that people do out of personal interests and preferences. Extrinsic motivation refers to the activities that people engage in in order to obtain an external reward or avoid punishment. SDT believes that intrinsic motivation is more beneficial to personal development and well-being than extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation can help people improve their skills, gain a sense of accomplishment, and build a positive self-concept. Extrinsic motivations can cause people to feel stressed, anxious, and dissatisfied.

The Tao of Happiness: Stories from Chuang Tzu for Your Spiritual Journey by Derek Lin If you have not encountered Chuang Tzu before, prepare yourself for a treat. He was the sage who stood apart from all others in Chinese history. He was a unique presence, a great mind like no one before or since. Chuang Tzu quickly distinguished himself and became well known for his deep understanding and sense of humor. His mastery was such that he could explain the Tao with simple stories, and his humor was such that he could see the joy in ordinary things. He taught his students about “carefree wandering”—the path of moving through life with a free and happy heart, regardless of how turbulent the journey might be. It is time for modern readers to join in on the fun. Chuang Tzu’s wisdom is not just for Eastern culture, but for all of humanity. We may not have the instability or the clash of massive armies indicative of Chuang Tzu’s time, but we have a lot of stress and tension in our modern world. Many of us find ourselves fighting little battles on the personal front just to get through the day. We can benefit greatly from Chuang Tzu’s teachings. These parables are presented throughout this book and juxtaposed with the charming and intelligent prose of modern-day Taoist teacher and author Derek Lin. Together, Chuang Tzu and Lin will present you with simple lessons that will have a lasting impact on your life.

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment. In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own.

Curiosity is Queen to establishing a Growth Mindset Author believes that the power of possibility can be achieved through curiosity. She advises that in order to develop our own belief in the power of what is possible, we must first approach life and the opportunities it presents us with curiosity. Sometimes those opportunities present themselves as trials and change, and on rare occasion those opportunities can be recognized as the gifts they are in the moment, not just when reflect upon them after the fact. For those opportunities that are a bit harder to accept, author encourages us to ask, “What is this trying to teach me?” By remaining curious, we remain open. Open to possibility and open to growth.
