Productivity is a priority for Indian employees, according to a recent Monster Poll. The poll, &lsquo;If you didn&rsquo;t have to work for a living, would you still work?&rsquo; reveals an overwhelming majority (76%) says yes, they would. While 8% remain ambivalent, only 16% say they wouldn&rsquo;t work if their livelihood wasn&rsquo;t dependent on it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">The poll makes one thing clear. Work may be a means of earning a livelihood, but its role in our lives isn&rsquo;t limited to just that. It is also about discovering new challenges, remaining engaged and finding meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><strong>Work is more than a paycheque<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Conventional wisdom has led us believe that people work for salaries. But an earlier <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/2015-07-16\/news\/64495182_1_passion-job-satisfaction-monster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster survey proves that isn&rsquo;t necessarily the truth<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">In another poll on &lsquo;What benefit will retain you for long in an organization?&rsquo;, only 11% voted salary as a motivator. A majority of respondents said they were driven by career advancement opportunities (37%) as well as learning and development (18%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" src=\"http:\/\/media.monsterindia.com\/cmsimages\/1460973783.jpg\" alt=\"monster poll\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\"><strong>Love what you do?

If your work is an extension of your passion, no amount of money will make you lose sight of your purpose. And that enthusiasm is probably the main reason why you won&rsquo;t have to worry about money for much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Research has shown that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.in\/The-more-people-love-their-jobs-the-quicker-they-get-rich\/articleshow\/48486017.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more people love their jobs, the quicker they get rich<\/a>. That&rsquo;s because people who love what they do don&rsquo;t mind putting in long hours and taking more professional risks to continue doing the work they are passionate about. Usually this kind of hard work results in handsome rewards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">So the next time you wonder why a person, whose livelihood doesn&rsquo;t depend on a job, continues to work at it, know this. It&rsquo;s not the money that fuels their passion but something that&rsquo;s beyond money!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif\">Can&#8217;t find a reason to go to work every day?
