Well-being and work: towards a balanced agenda

This book presents a new, novel context for reviewing and critiquing research into the work and well-being relationship, through the concept of balance, requiring a comprehensive review of the field in both range and scope, and by exploring the work and well-being literature from the perspective of evenness. Well-being and work is thereby evaluated from a negative and positive perspective, distinguishing between describing the relationship and giving it meaning, from developing knowledge to applying it, and from moving from the status quo to how best our ideas and research capture and reflect the nature of work in the 21st century.
