| Summary |
In this text concerning the dissatisfied worker, the reader will discover herein but a single thesis; namely, that a large part of vocational maladjustment and industrial unrest are secondary to, and but a reflection of, emotional maladjustment. Emotional maladjustment in most instances is in turn the natural and inevitable expression of emotional maldevelopment. The emotionally maldeveloped individual is almost certain to become maladjusted sooner or later to some one or several of the various major aspects of his everyday life. His maladjustment, whatever it relates to, breeds within him dissatisfaction and thwarts him in his search for happiness and success. Inasmuch as his feelings and emotions are inherent aspects of himself, he carries them with him, so to speak, into every situation which he enters. Now, since he does not usually know the reason of his dissatisfaction, does not understand the whyfor and nature of his maladjustment, it is not surprising that he very frequently attaches or attributes it (his dissatisfaction) to his work or his working situation. He then feels dissatisfied with his work and becomes a vocationally maladjusted individual. In presenting this thesis we have refrained as far as possible from the use of technical terms and from the introduction of complicated theories. If some of our more sophisticated readers find the presentation distastefully elementary, we hope that a greater number will profit by its simplicity. The case studies have been borrowed from the experience of the two writers and in no case are the initials given actually those of the individual discussed.
