“…The finding also suggests that it's possible for meaningfulness to become excessive (Johnson and Jiang, 2017). This could imply that there's an optimum amount of meaning, echoing Aristotle's golden mean (Pakaluk, 2005). However, this may be overly simplistic: bi-directional relationships that are both positive and negative, sometimes concurrently, are evident in the data.…”

“…For example, a deep sense of calling was associated with foregoing pay and personal time (Bunderson and Thompson, 2009). Whilst the idea of a "golden mean, " derived from Aristotelian Virtue Ethics (Pakaluk, 2005), is not unusual, this is underexplored with regard to meaningfulness. There are unanswered questions about the optimal amount of meaningfulness at work, whether certain types of meaningfulness are more likely to predict harmful outcomes, and how meaningful work links to workaholism and other attributes (Bailey et al, 2019a).…”

IntroductionMeaning is a key part of psychological wellbeing, and the benefits of meaningful work are widely acknowledged. Many people seek meaning from their work, and some organizations aim to facilitate this through interventions. In parallel, work-related stress has become a significant occupational risk. This study seeks to understand the perspectives of those who find their work to be both meaningful and stressful, and to explore the relationships between these concepts.MethodsEleven women and six men, aged 34–61, primarily based in the UK, from the private, public, and third sectors were interviewed about their experiences of meaning and stress in their work. Using a social constructivist grounded theory approach, data collection and analysis ran in parallel.ResultsFindings indicate that meaningful work and work-related stress are inherently connected, with bi-directional relationships that can support and hinder wellbeing. Meaningfulness can both alleviate and exacerbate stress, and stress can both reinforce and reduce meaningfulness. Meaningfulness and stress can even feel co-dependent, depending on how participants perceive and make sense of their experience.DiscussionWith many individuals seeking greater meaningfulness from their work, the results suggest that they— and their employers—would benefit from understanding more about the potential harmful effects of meaningfulness, including implications for stress and possible knock-on consequences for health and work.

“…Jika tindakan tersebut tidak sungguh disebabkan oleh paksaan atau tidak sungguh karena ketidaktahuan, tindakan terssebut berasal dari pelaku sendiri. Itulah tindakan yang disengaja atau bebas (hekousion), dan pelakunya juga bebas atau sengaja (hekon) (Pakaluk, 2005). Individu tidak digerakkan dari luar, tetapi dialah asal-usul (arche) tindakannya sendiri.…”

“…Humans are programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain [ 1 ]. They want to repeat pleasurable and emotionally satisfying situations [ 2 ]. Based on the same pleasure principle, Sigmund Freud proposed a concept of the unconscious related self-defense mechanisms which are considered as the counter forces that activate in reaction to anxiety and negative feelings [ 3 – 5 ].…”

Background. Swearing is an increasing trend among men and women worldwide. Earlier studies on the positive aspects of profanity mostly relate to pain management and the release of negative emotions. The uniqueness of the current study is its analysis for a possible constructive role of profanity in stress, anxiety, and depression. Method. The current survey involved 253 conveniently selected participants from Pakistan. The study analyzed the role of profanity in connection to stress, anxiety, and depression. Profanity Scale and the Urdu version of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale were used along with a structured interview schedule. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and t -test were implied to obtain results. Results. The study revealed that the usage of profane language had significantly inverse correlations with stress ( r = − 0.250 ; p < 0.01 ), anxiety ( r = − 0.161 ; p < 0.05 ), and depression ( r = − 0.182 ; p < 0.01 ). Higher profaners also revealed significantly lower levels of depression ( M = 29.91 , SD = 10.80 vs. M = 33.48 , SD = 10.40 ; p = 0.009 ; Cohen’s d = 0.338 ) and stress ( M = 30.83 , SD = 11.41 vs. M = 35.16 , SD = 11.31 ; p = 0.003 ; Cohen’s d = 0.381 ) as compared to lower profaners. Profanity had no significant correlations with age ( r = 0.031 ; p > 0.05 ) and education ( r = 0.016 ; p > 0.05 ). Men projected significantly higher levels of profanity as compared to women. Conclusion. The current study viewed profanity similar to the self-defense mechanisms and emphasized on its cathartic role in stress, anxiety, and depression.
