《工作、健康与工作的意义》(MIT Press)

English | August 6th, 2024 | ISBN: 0262548690 | 176 pages | True EPUB | 0.53 MB

A first-of-its-kind analysis using public health and economics research to illuminate how jobs affect our well-being.

As the saying goes, “find a job you that you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Could it really be so simple? According to Mary Davis’s innovative Jobs, Health, and the Meaning of Work, of course not. Davis explores the science of jobs from the vantage point of both public health and economics; in doing so, she untangles the complex weave of what makes people happy, healthy, and fulfilled at work. Sharing the real-life stories of workers who thrive (or struggle) in their jobs, this book emphasizes the point that there is no single recipe for what makes work healthy and meaningful across workers.

Topics covered in the book include wage and nonwage characteristics of jobs that impact worker well-being, the role of recessions, the concept of meaningful work, and job stress and burnout. It concludes by putting these stories and research within the context of the COVID labor economy and the future of work. This novel blend of economic and public health research deepens the discussion of what makes work meaningful.


一份使用公共卫生和经济学研究来揭示工作如何影响我们幸福感的开创性分析。 正如人们所说,“找到你喜欢的工作,你将永远不需要为生活中的每一天而工作。”真的这么简单吗?根据Mary Davis的创新著作《Jobs, Health, and the Meaning of Work》,显然不是。Davis从公共健康和经济学的角度探讨了工作的科学;在这样做时,她解开了让人们在工作中感到幸福、健康和满足的原因之复杂关系。这本书分享了那些在工作中茁壮成长(或挣扎)的真实生活故事,强调了一个事实:没有一种单一的配方能够适用于所有工人的工作是健康的且有意义的。 本书涵盖的内容包括影响员工福祉的工作薪酬及其非薪酬特征、衰退的作用、有意义工作的概念以及工作压力和倦怠。它最后将这些故事和研究置于COVID疫情期间的劳动经济背景以及未来工作之中。这种经济学与公共卫生学的研究结合深化了对什么构成有意义的工作的讨论。
