Synopsis

This book adapts the ancient philosophical notion of the "good life" to the context of modern work and organizations. It outlines a vision of the good working life as the simultaneous experience of high levels of job satisfaction, work meaningfulness, and work psychological richness. In the chapters, these three dimensions of the good working life are related to various individual differences, such as demographic and personality characteristics, as well as different work characteristics, including job demands and job resources. The three dimensions of the good working life are also analysed across different industries, and differentially related to important work outcomes, such as job engagement, performance, and occupational health, as well as key life outcomes, including life satisfaction, health, societal contributions, and wisdom. Promoting a positive psychological perspective on work, this book offers a compelling read for academics, students, and practitioners interested in improving employee wellbeing and reducing stress in organizations.
