Abstract

My ultimate concern in this research is to investigate the culture of fear that we live in and how it impacts our vocational callings. Why the fear of failing can be immobilizing, or can paralyze us to do nothing, and therefore fall a prey to inner devastation between fulfilling our self-image belief and securing our daily responsibilities. This fear goes harshly against the inner psychological need that drives us to maximize our personal abilities and resources which may vary from one person to another. Ironically implementing the basics of organizational psychology aims to increase productivity and develop and train employees professionally. Instead there must be a huge consideration to the varied work stress that derives many to fall into deep depression. In this study I try to come closer to a clearer picture of what triggers this fear stress; is it work load or the way managers approach employees? Does a narcissist manager or any other person aggravate this stress by feeding an environment of fear that paralyzes others’ talents and capabilities? Is every individual responsible for fencing his own boundaries from any external fear threat that may attack him? Or the real threat comes from one’s own inner thoughts, supposing that we could easily block outer irritations.

Summary

Introduction

The meaning of “self-actualization” is mainly derived from Humanistic psychology, from the theory created by Abraham Maslow. Maslow’s hierarchy reflects a pattern of growth depicted in a direct pyramidal order of ascension He states that self-actualizing individuals are able to satisfy their needs in life through free-will and determinism. The theory that the drive to self-actualization will only emerge as a motivator once a variety of more basic needs are met requires more consideration when the individual is trapped within certain images of fear whether real or out of his own imagination. The majority of people survive jobs which completely kill their creativity mostly because of a troubled unsecured boss or weak management The only thing they excel in is promoting a sick work environment with a lifeless spirit. I met with several daunting situations and downfalls that helped me rethink about my goals in life
