In this episode of the "Identity Work Podcast," we explore how workplace relationships shape our sense of meaning. Stephen suggests that relationships might be the biggest factor in meaningful work, and Adam brings in research to examine this idea.
We discuss the four dimensions of workplace relationships—social support, external interactions, task interdependence, and feedback—and why just being friendly isn't enough. Adam shares his experiences, realizing that meaningful work relationships are about effective collaboration.
We offer practical strategies for improving relationships at work, especially when dealing with challenging bosses or teams, and how to assess potential relationships during job interviews.
