Work is a central aspect of life, providing a source of structure,
a means of survival, connection to others, and optimally a means of
self-determination. Across the globe, people devote considerable
time and effort to preparing for, adjusting to, and managing their
work lives. Many of the major crises affecting people and
communities-including wars, famines, poverty, and risks to personal
safety-have been and continue to be related to working. At the same
time, working, when it is dignified and meaningful, can create the
foundation for a satisfying life that allows people to support
themselves and their families, and to find an outlet for their
values and interests in the world of work. This handbook is
designed to expand and deepen a growing discourse about the
psychological nature of working. Building on critiques of
psychology's traditional assumptions and practices about work and
career, the psychology of working perspective has been advanced as
an inclusive, broad-reaching framework that explores the nature of
working for the full spectrum of people who work and who want to
work. This volume is characterized by disciplinary pluralism with
contributions from a wide range of scholars and practitioners
interested in the role of work in people's lives. Chapters explore
theoretical foundations, the context of working, counseling and
psychotherapy, organizational implications, community-based
interventions, and public policy. As a major resource in the
psychology of working field, this book is a must-have for
counseling and clinical psychologists, I/O psychologists,
mental-health counselors, social workers, management consultants,
and a wide array of researchers and students who are concerned with
the nature of work in the 21st century, transformative scholarship,
public policy, and inclusive psychological practice.
