The joy of work? Jobs, happiness, and you

摘要

This concise book combines two areas that are usually considered separately. The first and main focus is a self-help approach to improving one's happiness at work. The second relates to issues within organisations affecting employee well-being. The latter will likely be of more direct relevance to Prometheus readers interested in issues related to innovation, productivity and management. In this context, the book broadly relates to the changing nature of work and management in the knowledge-based economy (KBE) era that has seen an increasing importance of knowledge-based services activities staffed by tertiary educated knowledge workers.
