The Three Operational Dimensions We All Function In Are: Work, Personal And Societal Influence

To learn more about what brings people satisfaction and fulfillment in their jobs and their lives, The Institute for Behavioral Effectiveness studied more than 1,500 people. Included were business people, professionals, artists, teachers, homemakers, and those involved in various blue collar trades. The study revealed that three significant dimensions must be considered: work, personal and societal.

Work is what a person does during his or her day. For some people, it is their job or profession… how they earn their living. For others… homemakers, for example, it includes caring for the home and children, and the myriad of other tasks they routinely perform.

The Personal dimension is what a person does with his or her “free” time. It is what they do when they are alone. It is what a person thinks or dreams about during the day or during the quiet hours of the morning while lying in bed waiting for the alarm to sound. It also includes how a person feels about himself or herself… and how they think others view them… their self‑concept.

Societal includes a person’s relationships with others, including immediate and extended family members, neighbors, the community, church and club members, and the activities associated with each of these groups.
