Work values and carder motivation

[CarderPlanet]

The most important aspect of work for carders is "interesting work": 82% of all respondents noted it. She managed to push to second place (78%) such a seemingly unshakable factor as "good pay", which is of paramount importance in modern world, where it is important for almost everyone -96%. Carders are much more striving for labor achievements and initiative: the third place among labor values is occupied by the desire for work “where you can achieve something” (60%), and the fifth - the opportunity to take initiative (44%). Similar indicators almost 1.5-2 times less.

An important role is played by a convenient work schedule (58%), and the chosen form of employment allows them to successfully combine their desires with opportunities.

A "safe place of work" is consistently among the top three labor priorities, but the significance of this factor for carders is 2.5 times less - only 34% of respondents consider it important. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that carding is often perceived as a kind of inferior form of employment. However, carders demonstrate a knack for resisting social pressures. The need for work that "commands respect from people" is expressed only by 22% of carders, which is about 1.5 times less than the national indicators. Carders are real workaholics, they are not characterized by the desire for low labor costs. "Not too hard work" attracts only 13% of them, and "long vacation" - 8%. The latter indicator is 4 times less than that of Russians as a whole.

In addition to studying the attitude to work in general, the advantages and disadvantages of carding as a special form of employment were revealed. Almost all the advantages of carding are associated with various manifestations of freedom: first of all, it is a flexible schedule (79%) and the ability to work from home (66%). About half of all respondents choose carding because it gives them the opportunity to choose projects to their liking (54%), take full responsibility for the progress of work (48%)

allows you to combine work with study or work for hire (49%) and does not tie it to a specific workplace (45%). A third of the respondents are satisfied that they do not have to obey corporate rules (34%), there is no bosses and constant control over them (32%). There is also a lack of routine and a variety of work performed (35%).

The disadvantages of free employment are the other side of its merits. The main problems were named the instability and unpredictability of future income (58%) and high risks, the likelihood of fraud on the part of customers (52%). The search for new projects is also an urgent problem (33%), which is not surprising in the conditions of overcrowded highly competitive markets.

In addition, carders are oppressed by the lack of social guarantees (29%), a social package (26%) and legal, documented income (21%), which noticeably infringes on their rights in comparison with traditional, full-time workers. Every fifth of those surveyed by us notes a relatively low level of income and a lack of career growth, career advancement. A noticeable concern is the lack of communication with colleagues (29%). This suggests that the social isolation of e-carders is not a far-fetched issue. It springs from two reasons at once: independent employment status, which implies individual work, and the remote nature of interactions, which minimizes face-to-face communication. The following differences were found for the groups identified by us.

"Future" carders more often than others mention the ability to combine employment with study or employment among the advantages, and among the disadvantages - high risks, the likelihood of fraud on the part of the customer. Since most of these people plan to combine carding with full-time employment and consider it only as an opportunity to generate additional income, such positive aspects as the lack of management and constant control, the absence of the need to obey corporate rules and a relatively high level of income are not so important for them.

Former carders tend to be critical of carding. They are much more likely than others to focus on its shortcomings and pay much less attention to its merits. Based on their answers, we can determine the reasons why these people left free employment. Low income appears to be a key factor for them, as 35% of former carders and only 20% of current carders express dissatisfaction with their earnings. In addition (and this is confirmed by the analysis of labor values), former carders are oppressed by the lack of career opportunities, the need to organize themselves and the monotony of the projects they had to carry out.

In the first place among the shortcomings, as in all other studied groups, is the uncertainty, unpredictability of future income. Accordingly, we can conclude that people who leave carding are more striving for material well-being, stability, career growth and social recognition.

5 enemies of motivation: what robs us of enthusiasm
For some people, the motivation goes off scale, for others, enthusiasm disappears at the first failure, for others there are constantly “flashes” of inspiration, but just as quickly fade away ... if you really want to kindle a fire in yourself that will never go out, and will support your interest in life, it is important to avoid what kills motivation and will to win.

1) we abandon what we like
Many people know what we are interested in and capable of making us happy. But we neglect this, telling ourselves that there is not enough time and energy for these interests and hobbies. We forget to maintain passions. If you rarely do what you love, it's time to change that. If you don't have enough time, get up early and force yourself to devote some time to your hobbies, even if you are tired. You will soon feel a surge of energy and enthusiasm.

2. We find everyday activities boring
Everyone has to do something unpleasant. We may not like taking out the trash, working, cleaning the stove, but this must be done. It’s not responsibilities that cause boredom, but attitudes. If you try to think positively, you can feel enthusiasm for any business. Find a way to motivate yourself to do your daily chores.
For example, try practicing mindfulness. As you go about your business, focus on movement and regularly remind yourself of the benefits of mindfulness: improved concentration, increased calmness and confidence, and reduced stress levels.
When doing something, keep in mind what you will get. For example, you can earn money for what you wanted to buy or for the trip you dreamed of. When cleaning, imagine how clean the apartment will be when you're done. Focus on the positive and motivation will grow.

3. We listen to pessimists
People who are inclined to criticize our ideas can discourage anyone's enthusiasm. A gloomy outlook on life is "contagious", so if possible, it is best to avoid communicating with such people. And if communication is inevitable, do not let them drag you into their "swamp" of pessimism. The rest of the time, try to surround yourself with happy and successful people, their energy and enthusiasm will be transferred.

4. We neglect health and well-being
It is difficult to maintain enthusiasm when we are exhausted all the time, eat unhealthy foods and fight with our loved one every night. Try to live a healthy lifestyle and keep yourself in good shape. To maintain optimal energy levels, regular exercise, a good diet, and at least 7 hours of sleep a day are important.
Constant problems in a relationship with a partner? Try to fix them, and if it doesn’t work out, think about whether it’s better to leave. Constant stress from relationships prevents you from being a healthy and happy person. Take care of yourself, and motivation will come, followed by increased self-esteem.

5. We don't do enough to be happy
Do you think we ourselves are the smiths of our own happiness? Or should we wait until life brings it to us on a silver platter? If you agree with the first statement, then you already know that we ourselves can create for ourselves all the positive emotions we wish, including enthusiasm. Those who do not want to try for the sake of happiness, but are waiting for gifts from fate, usually lack energy and motivation.
The happiest people are well aware that they create joy for themselves, without relying on others or on circumstances that are beyond their control. Follow their lead and you will soon feel an incredible rush of inspiration.
