My recent work has focused on the social science of work. In particular, I’ve been interested in how work may contribute to the wellbeing of persons as well as a source of meaning for them. I will present results from recent meta-analyses of the social scientific literature on how persons can improve work engagement, which is associated with increased meaning, during their jobs by using job crafting. I will also present results on a work in progress on the general state of what we know about the association between work, wellbeing, and meaning. Finally, I will turn to the role of work in an increasingly automated workplace.
