Description
Mapping Good Work explores how job quality and job satisfaction vary across different occupations in Britain. Using detailed statistical analyses and research data from hundreds of occupational groups, the authors challenge conventional notions of 'good work' and examine why some jobs feel more rewarding than others.
The book considers fresh policies to promote fulfilling employment and builds a case for genuine and sustained satisfaction in working lives. With examples from various professions, it sheds light on the factors that contribute to job quality and job satisfaction, regardless of pay or security.
