Abstract

Love for work invokes conflicting emotions. Because of love for work, people stretch, enjoy the results of their diligence. On the other hand, love for work can become enervating and consume one’s energy totally. At their best, the work, joy of work, and success at work are the spice of life and the most satisfying feeling. In this article, we dissect the various dimensions of love for work and how it can be enhanced. People’s many personal characteristics are crucial but employees’ possibilities to develop professionally, the supervision of work and vocational training are important as well. Love for work has to be considered as the means for both individual and societal development.
