Abstract

The article focuses on the evolving expectations of employees regarding meaning in their work, influenced by insights from Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning." It highlights a significant shift in employee priorities, with a 2024 American Psychological Association Trends Report indicating that 93% of employees value meaningful work. Leaders are urged to foster environments that support this search for meaning by understanding employees' passions and career phases, as well as balancing monetary and social rewards. The article emphasizes the importance of self-aware leadership in creating a culture where employees feel valued and engaged, ultimately enhancing organizational success.
