Work Expectations Profile

Work expectations are those events people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, expectations have a powerful impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and play a key role in driving our attitudes.

Available in paper and electronic formats, in English only.


Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated work expectations find more satisfaction and success in their jobs than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealised. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.
