7moThis thought-provoking article misses the mark for me. I question whether its elements truly define a healthy culture, especially the emphasis on a prosocial purpose, which seems more peripheral than central. I haven't encountered convincing data, including in the article, to show a strong link between prosocial purposes and a positive team environment. While social responsibility is commendable and increasingly important in businesses, equating it with job satisfaction might be misleading. It risks overshadowing what employees genuinely seek: psychological safety, involved leadership, autonomy, growth opportunities, and fair compensation. While employees appreciate a socially responsible employer, genuine job satisfaction stems from effective support, leadership, and a workplace that values their contributions.
