Self-esteem

self-esteem

Self-esteem is the evaluation that a person has of themselves and significantly influences how we perceive ourselves and our abilities. It is a central component of mental health and has profound effects on our well-being, relationships and performance in professional and private environments.

Significance and statistics

A healthy sense of self-worth is crucial for mental stability and life satisfaction. Studies show that people with high self-esteem deal better with stress, are less susceptible to mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety disorders, and maintain a stronger social network. According to research by PsycINFO, 75% of respondents report that positive self-esteem has significantly improved their quality of life. Low self-esteem, on the other hand, can lead to problems such as chronic stress, lower life satisfaction and difficulties in career progress.

Causes of Low Self-Esteem

Low self-esteem can be caused by various factors, including negative experiences, criticism, social comparisons, or past failures. In the working world, excessive pressure, lack of recognition, or poor feedback culture can have a negative impact on employees' self-esteem.
