Success in a job is very dependent on the person doing the evaluation:
- Most capitalists and mangers would see success as doing the job well, making a large salary and rising up in the organization. No thought is given to personal satisfaction.
- Many workers see doing the job in a manner that allows a good balance of work and personal (home, family, etc.) goals to be satisfied
- People "on mission" (activists etc.) see converting others to their point of view as a marker of success with no need of money, position and at the sacrifice of personal life.
- Some see doing a job "well enough" to stay employed to be the ultimate goal.
