Abstract

This literature review addresses the state of research concerning the concept of the meaningful work. This inquiry built on the theoretical foundation of the content motivation theorists, but focused on what the recent research informs us about meaning of work as a motivational construct. Three themes emerged - sense of self, the work itself and sense of balance - that became subsets for the concluding term of integrated wholeness.
