A Meaningful Life at Work: The Paradox of Wellbeing

This book considers different areas of employees'' positive and negative experiences in the workplace to evaluate how this contributes to their well-being, particularly in developing countries like Malaysia, but also in the broader Asian and global contexts. It draws on Choice Theory to elucidate the role of individuals in affecting their own well-being as well as that of others, and addresses how engagement and "workaholism" have key roles in impacting employee well-being at work; the importance of employees'' behavioral conduct in dealing with ethical issues; the issue of cyberbullying and effects on well-being; sexual harassment; different perspectives on positivity at work; and how employee well-being is a matter of choice. A Meaningful Life at Work addresses a range of issues impacting experiences in the workplace and restricting personal growth in a professional setting. The authors explore employee wellbeing from a Malaysian perspective as a developing country, as well as the broader Asian and wider global context.
