Drawing on decades of research data on hundreds of occupational groups, the authors challenge conventional notions of 'good work' and consider them afresh through the lens of workers themselves. With examples from many professions, the book examines why some occupations feel more rewarding than others, regardless of factors like pay and security. Exploring fresh policies to promote the agenda for fulfilling employment, it builds an important case for genuine and sustained satisfaction in working lives.Bristol shorts research.Mapping Good WorkQuality of work lifeQuality of work life.306.3Williams Mark T.171987Zhou YingZou MinNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910416121403321Mapping Good Work2921693UNINA
