does your occupation ever affect the way you behave? how?

Question

i need to find this answer it will really assist me with my primary research for my major assessment task.
thank u very much

Answer 1

Yes. I am a preschool teacher. My profession affects clothing I chose to buy, people wouldn't be comfortable leaving their child with a hoochie momma, the way I act in public, items I buy at the store. I am constantly concerned about how this would look or how I will be judged by that statement. Sometimes comments I make during the day concern me enough to lose sleep over, considering how this will be viewed. I actually document situations and comments just in case they come under scrutiny. Some days I feel I walk a tight rope.

Answer 2

YES. Very much so.

You want to keep your job right? You need Joe the day after tomorrow right?

So here's what's going to happen as a result:

- Anger that is justified is left internalised.
- Contacts with any human being that is irrepairable are still maintained without taking some space.
- You react differently to people that have no motivation to do things, keep no promises or don't have the energy to understand something. You kind of work around it, because either hierarchical relations won't allow you or it can work against you at a later time.

In my personal life:
- Anger that's justified I cannot hide and will not hide.
- Contacts that have been damaged beyond repair I will just leave (alone).
- I will tell people straight out "that's because you really don't want to do it", "maybe if you would take the time to listen, you might understand what I'm trying to tell you", "You promised me, how is that going to help in the future when we need to do something".

I can tell you how genuine behaviour is interpreted. It's interpreted as being childish. You are expected to ignore unaccepted behaviour and handle it in other ways. Ways that are less disruptive and less crisis inducing.

The corporate community really is tricking itself, because without the proper clarity of the situation at hand, nothing is really going to change or go ahead. Often resulting in inefficiency, demotivation, higher rate of failed projects, etc. etc. Where there's people, there's conflict. Any conflict that has been prevented to handle in the way you would handle it in your personal life takes another wheel from the car that drives you to your destination.

Another thing that is definetely a no-no is acknowledging certain behaviour has consequences. A consequence of making someone feel like ****, well, that just doesn't exist or affect productivity. I would point people out in my personal life, but I would never do that in my job because the human aspect is very strongly denied.

Answer 3

I am a psychologist. First of all, I try to live up to the "advice" that I give. Second, I learn new methods for improving my own behavior. I like to try them out on me first so that I have some experience of their effects. Luckily, I don't prescribe drugs, although I like I would draw the line there! ;) I also draw the line on trying negative behaviors; I am trying to make myself better, not worse!
