When you start feeling isolated at work, you also get demoralized and detached—perhaps even depressed. In the first study to empirically analyze the effect of loneliness on work performance, Sigal Barsade and Hakan Ozcelik examined the experiences of 672 employees in 143 teams. They found that loneliness led to withdrawal from work, and weaker productivity, motivation, and performance. The study also showed that this doesn’t happen in a vacuum, that “co-workers can recognize this loneliness and see it hindering team member effectiveness." Loneliness is a personal emotion, but it’s not a private concern. The effect of loneliness reverberates, becoming a concern for the group, the organization, and the community.
In The Progress Principle, Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer write about one of the vital ingredients of what makes us fulfilled in our work—the nourishment factor of human connection. Recognition, gratitude, encouragement, emotional support, and camaraderie are all elements of the nourishment factor—aspects of work that are often treated as mere window dressing, as spiritless exercises or tired, meaningless buzzwords, and as far as you can get from true priorities.
“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity,” French philosopher Simone Weil once wrote, and in what seems to be an ever-head-down, busily streaming life, that seems a harder truth than ever. Your wholehearted attention is how you connect to others, while our pragmatic attitudes about work have little room to even consider generosity. The nourishment factor—these acts of generosity, of giving and receiving our full attention, expressing gratitude and providing support—feeds our cores, makes us more resilient and enduring, and helps us to strive.
