Human Relations : Part # 11

Defining Frustrations.

You get frustrated at your workplace when you are prevented from accomplishing your "purpose", or fulfilling your desire(s).

Three situations that are often frustrating to you at your workplace are frustrations caused by stress / distress such as:

1. overworking your job
2. trying to achieve too many goals in the same time
3. working with overtly stubborn peers, and superiors

Four ways in which you could overcome your frustrations at your workplace are:

Admit to yourself that your frustrations make you behave aggressively through for example verbal aggression, and teach yourself to recognize them.

                                                                       

Try to recognize aggressive behaviours in your co - workers including your managers too.           

Their aggressive behaviours may not be directed toward you personally, but you may just happen to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Be sensitive about your own natural aggressions, especially your verbal ones, and be very cautious about them in your group discussions, and staff meetings as well.

Don't allow aggressive behaviours by your co - workers stop you from achieving your goals!

Also, a good understanding of emotions i.e. having emotional intelligence may help an employee create a good job career for themselves by yielding the benefits of becoming more aware of other worker's needs, creating a good self - image, and creating better social interactions at your workplace!
