Achievement

Achievement can be defined in many ways depending on an individual’s perspective. Some people are intrinsically motivated while others are motivated by accolades or comparing their successes to others. In this episode of The Social Work Journal, Deltom dives into scientific findings about how individuals define achievement, the challenges to fulfillment or achievement, and how societal stereotypes may impact our ability to actualize success. Deltom also shares her own personal challenges and experiences related to achievement. 2:43 A Jack of All Trades (Deltom’s personal challenges with achievement while juggling multiple aspects of her personal and professional life) 7:02- Micromanaging (undermining employees’ autonomy-a reason for job dissatisfaction) 8:29 Age & Job Satisfaction (making the job work for you vs pushing back for change in the workplace) 11:27 Pushing Back (Deltom’s personal story on job satisfaction and achievement) 13:38 Women in the workplace (the glass ceiling for working mom’s) 15:48 Men in the workplace (working dads and the burden of assuming men to leadership roles) 16:27 The glass ceiling in film (an increase in top grossing films amongst Caucasian women & men of color in the film industry) 19:01 Token Economy and Preference Assessment to shape behaviors in children to achieve access to a preference 22:18 Judgment passed on stay at home dads and career oriented moms 25:00 Intrinsic Motivation (find was makes you feel a sense of achievement) Support: https://cash.app/$thesocialworkjournal https://www.venmo.com/u/thesocialworkjournal Get Connected: Website: thesocialworkjournal.com Tik Tok: @thesocialworkjournal Instagram: @thesocialworkjournal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesocialworkjournal Quotes “Most people are not satisfied at their jobs because of one particular reason that can be universal and that’s because they don’t have a sense of ownership at that job. Maybe there’s a skill or a talent that they have that they feel has been untapped at their work”-Deltom “I Feel like a jack of all trades and a master of none because I want to be a great mom but I still have my aspirations to have a successful podcast and to have a successful clothing line that I’m working on. So, it can be difficult juggling all these hats and working full time.
