Hardback. Condición: Very Good. EXPLORING AND EXPLODING OUR NOTIONS OF WORK Joanne B. Ciulla, a noted scholar in Leadership and Ethics, examines why so many people today have let their jobs take over their lives. Technology was supposed to free us from work, but instead we work longer hours-often tethered to the office at home by cell phones and e-mail. People still look to work for self-fulfillment, community, and identity, but these things may be increasingly difficult to find in today's workplace. Gone is the social contract where employees and employers shared a sense of mutual loyalty, yet many of us still sacrifice personal time for jobs that we could lose at the drop of a stock price. Tracing the evolution of the meaning of work from Aesop to Dilbert, and critically examining the past 100 years of management practices, Ciulla asks questions that we often willfully ignore at our own peril. *When you are on your deathbed, will you wish you had spent more time at the office? *Why do we define ourselves by our jobs rather than by other activities we do outside of work? *What can employers and employees promise each other in today's business environment? Provocative and entertaining, The Working Life challenges us to think about the meaning of work and its impact on our lives.…

About the book >.>.> Joanne Ciulla invites us to explore the his- torical and cultural presuppositions about employment. She says that the greatest challenge today is not work, but how to make our lives work. She traces work from "curse to calling-and beyond" by drawing on history, mythology (ancient and contemporary), pop culture, management theory, and practical expe- rience. What is the relationship between work and hope? Why do so many of us seem to be letting work take over our lives and trying to live in whatever time is left over? Why are the two common expressions "Get a job!" and "Get a life!" so necessary-and so antithetical? Why is there so much downsizing at a time of unequaled pros- perity? What happened to the old, unwritten assumptions about two-way loyalty between employers and employees? (SP).…
