Workshop on meaningful work
March 28, 2024 - Thursday
santralistanbul Campus
Research has highlighted the positive and significant impact meaningful work has on employees' development and well-being. Meaningful work allows employees to go beyond financial rewards, providing a higher purpose and spiritual fulfillment. Employees who perceive their work as meaningful exhibit higher self-worth, better psychological adjustment, greater job satisfaction, and organizational attachment. Overall, meaningful work is crucial for individuals' holistic development within the workplace.
This one-day workshop aims to explore how meaning can be created via work activities. Conceptual and empirical papers on topics including meaningful work, calling, work engagement, flourishing, and job crafting will be considered for selection. Papers that approach the issue from the individual-level or the organizational-level are both welcome.
