Why meaning and connection drive performance

Emotional engagement is what turns routine tasks into meaningful work. When people feel emotionally connected to what they do - and understand why it matters - they’re more likely to stay focused, put in discretionary effort and produce higher-quality work. By contrast, when work feels disconnected, invisible or purely transactional, motivation often drops - even among capable and experienced people. Emotional engagement isn’t about constant enthusiasm or positivity; it’s about feeling a sense of purpose, impact and personal investment in day-to-day work. And when that’s present, productivity usually follows.
