　　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 work, as human nature or human condition; as curse or

blessing; as a calling by God or expression of the inner

self."

　　-- Michael W. Munley, Philadelphia Inquirer

　　"None of my guests on World of Ideas stimulated more response

from viewers than Joanne Ciulla."
