Amidst the exponentially growing interest in "work as a calling,"
contemporary discussions have taken an individualistic turn away
from the earlier prosocial character that once marked this
orientation to work. Now, discussions about "work as a calling"
mostly prioritize personal fulfilment via the pursuit of deeply
"meaningful work." Excessive focus has been placed on the
experience of meaningful work in ways that are detached from the
genuinely good workplace ends that allow for such a meaningful
experience to ensue. This book provides a novel paradigm for
reimagining the idea of "work as a calling," which serves as a
corrective that better supports the individuals' search for meaning
and their contribution to the common good, arguing that the two go
hand in hand, and so they cannot be separated. Thus, the key idea
captured herein is not simply that scholars have misunderstood the
very notion of "work as a calling" by implying that it is
essentially just synonymous with meaningful work, but, even more
importantly, the point is that scholars and laypersons alike often
fail to realize how true meaning ensues as a result of a genuine
concern for contributing to human flourishing and the common good
through one's work. Providing a new perspective on "work as a
calling" by examining the issue from the perspective of morality
rather than self-actualization, this volume will be of interest to
researchers, academics, professionals, and students in the fields
of business ethics, management, leadership, and organizational
studies.
