The Oxford Handbook of Meaningful Work examines the concept,
practices and effects of meaningful work in organizations and
beyond. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume reflects
diverse scholarly contributions to understanding meaningful work
from philosophy, political theory, psychology, sociology,
organizational studies, and economics. In philosophy and political
theory, treatments of meaningful work have been influenced by
debates concerning the tensions between work as unavoidable and
necessary, and work as a source of self-realization and human
flourishing. This tension has come into renewed focus as work is
reshaped by technology, globalization, and new forms of
organization. In management studies, much empirical work has
focused on meaningful work from the perspective of positive
psychology, but more recent research has considered meaningful work
as a complex phenomenon, socially constructed from interactive
processes between individuals, and between individuals,
organizations, and society. This Handbook examines meaningful work
in the context of moral and pragmatic concerns such as human
flourishing, dignity, alienation, freedom, and organizational
ethics. The collection illuminates the relationship of meaningful
work to organizational constructs of identity, belonging, callings,
self-transcendence, culture, and occupations. Representing some of
the most up to date academic research, the editors aim to inspire
and equip researchers by identifying new directions and methods
with which to deepen scholarly inquiry into a topic of growing
importance.
