摘要

许多人期望他们的工作为他们的生活提供意义,然而,能够促进生活意义的具体组织因素并没有明确描述。根据生活意义的基础科学,在本文中,我们提出工作需要大量的经历来培养生活的意义。我们从定义生命的意义开始,注意到它在更广泛的幸福文献中的位置,并消除关于它在人们生活中罕见的常见神话。在强调了意义对个人和组织的无数好处之后,我们描述了生活中意义的几个既定来源及其与工作的相关性。然后,我们研究了工作取向和社会人口因素如何影响通过工作寻求意义的倾向。最后,我们讨论了未来的研究方向,以更好地阐明工作意义的预测因素和功能。

Work and the good life: How work contributes to meaning in life

Many people expect their work to provide meaning to their lives, yet the specific organizational factors that can promote meaning in life are not clearly delineated. Drawing on the basic science of meaning in life, in this paper we propose that work entails a host of experiences that foster meaning in life. We begin by defining meaning in life, noting its placement within the broader well-being literature and dispelling common myths about its rarity in people’s lives. After highlighting the myriad benefits of meaning for individuals and organizations, we describe several established sources of meaning in life and their relevance to work. We then examine how work orientations and social demographic factors influence the propensity to seek meaning through work. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions that can better illuminate the predictors and functions of meaningfulness at work.

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
