Abstract

As people spend more and more of their waking hours working, the boundaries between work and life become blurred.

This article suggests ways to construct meaning around the work you perform and select companies that mirror your value system. Understanding how different types of work provide different intrinsic rewards can help managers select the appropriate career path and find their "calling."
