Description
Book SynopsisA Meaningful Life at Work addresses a range of contemporary issues that impact on an individual's experiences in the workplace, including those that may restrict opportunities for personal growth in a professional setting. Understanding an employee's values, their choices and the problems they face in the workplace may help organisations to better structure their human resource policies, compensation packages and working conditions.
The authors explore employee wellbeing from a Malaysian perspective as a developing country, but they also reflect on the broader Asian and wider global context. The key themes analysed in this book include work addiction, cyber bullying, sexual harassment in the workplace and the ethics of workplace behaviour. The book contributes to the theoretical discourse around organisation studies and employee wellbeing, while also seeking to integrate academic concepts with practice. In this way, it offers practical steps towards promoting positivity and happiness in the workplace.
Trade ReviewThis book considers different areas of employees' positive and negative experiences in the workplace to evaluate how this contributes to their well-being, particularly in developing countries like Malaysia, but also in the broader Asian and global contexts. It draws on Choice Theory to elucidate the role of individuals in affecting their own well-being as well as that of others, and addresses how engagement and "workaholism" have key roles in impacting employee well-being at work; the importance of employees' behavioral conduct in dealing with ethical issues; the issue of cyberbullying and effects on well-being; sexual harassment; different perspectives on positivity at work; and how employee well-being is a matter of choice. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
