FORT COLLINS – Calling – a summons to purposeful work that advances the greater good – can help people find satisfaction and meaning in their careers regardless of their social status or job responsibilities, a Colorado State University professor says in a new book.
Anyone can pursue a calling in their work if they seek opportunities to express their gifts and actively shape their job tasks and work relationships in ways that link to a broader purpose, said Bryan Dik, associate professor of psychology at Colorado State. He is the co-author of “Make Your Job a Calling: How the Psychology of Vocation can Change Your Life at Work” with Ryan Duffy, assistant professor at the University of Florida.
