There are two main reasons for this.<br />First, there may be dispositional individual differences<br />between both groups that are responsible for the<br />proposed differences in engagement and workaholism.<br />Individuals in entrepreneurial jobs are more often<br />characterized by achievement-related traits, such as<br />need for achievement, self-efficacy, and internal locus<br />of control than those working on payroll<br /><br />http://www.beanmanaged.eu/pdf/articles/arnoldbakker/article_arnold_bakker_209.pdfwildnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-89699834877681056342012-09-16T17:26:43.201+01:002012-09-16T17:26:43.201+01:00i never said your beliefs were wrong

It isn't an office or 9 to 5 sort of job, but it's a job. They have to honour their commitments - be it playing or promo work - and they have to keep themselves at the best standard they can reach through practice and proper lifestyle. It's a job and that's why they are called professionals. Every single one of them who reaches the top or win events have put a lot of hard work in. <br />I know that this will trigger a lot of reactions like "I'd rather do that than what I do today, easy!". Well, everyone who thinks it's that easy and glamorous, why don't they do it? Moniquenoreply@blogger.com
