What is success at work and why is it important? How do top workers
describe their success? How can work, community, leadership,
family, or home and school promote success? Success at work is
often associated with career-oriented individuals who sacrifice
other areas of life to achieve highly in the workplace, but success
can also be defined in other ways. It can consist of feelings of
knowledge, competence and accomplishment, stemming from an inner
drive to work well and create an expression of mastery. This book
focuses on employees who have been rewarded for their skills and
expertise. Based on the authors' in-depth research into the
phenomenon of success at work, this book provides a positive
human-strength based approach to success and offers a fresh
viewpoint to the modern, demanding and hectic work life. Drawing
from the theory of positive psychology and outlining new
theoretical ideas including work motivation, career orientation,
work characteristics, and positive states of work, success is
described as a combination of multiple elements which include other
areas of life. The book is illustrated throughout with case studies
from employees, and it will ignite thoughts about what success at
work is and can be, and how to recognize factors which enhance or
hinder success in varying contexts. Considering a variety of data,
this book will appeal to researchers and academics from the fields
of work and organisational psychology, positive psychology, career
counselling and coaching.
