The colonization of the lifeworld and the destruction of meaning. The Meaning of Life. 1.
The Meaning of “Meaning” One part of the field of life's meaning consists of the systematic attempt to clarify what people mean when they ask in virtue of what life has meaning. This section addresses different accounts of the sense of talk of “life's meaning” (and of “significance,” “importance,” and other synonyms). A large majority of those writing on life's meaning deem talk of it centrally to indicate a positive final value that an individual's life can exhibit. That is, comparatively few believe either that a meaningful life is a merely neutral quality, or that what is of key interest is the meaning of the human species or universe as a whole (for discussions focused on the latter, see Edwards 1972; Munitz 1986; Seachris 2009). Beyond drawing the distinction between the life of an individual and that of a whole, there has been very little discussion of life as the logical bearer of meaning. 2. 2.1 God-centered Views 2.2 Soul-centered Views 3. 3.1 Subjectivism 3.2 Objectivism 4.
The Function Of Meaning And Purpose For Individual Wellness. The authors review the literature on meaning and purpose in life as it relates to models of individual wellness.
An overview of wellness models illustrates the importance of a sense of meaning to wellness. Suggestions are provided for how counselors may work with clients' sense of meaning in therapy. The general public and health care practitioners have become increasingly interested in finding alternative paradigms to the biomedical model (Gordon, 1981; Granello, 2000; Gross, 1980; Still, 1986; Witmer, 1985; Wulff, Pedersen, & Rosenberg, 1990). In contrast to the biomedical model, wellness is a paradigm that has a salutogenic (i.e., health enhancing) focus (Ardell, 1977; Deliman & Smolowe, 1982; Dunn, 1961; Johnson, 1986; Opatz, 1986; Ryff & Singer, 1998; Tubesing, 1979).
The general public's interest in wellness has continued to grow. Towards happiness: Experiences of work-role fit, meaningfulness and work engagement of industrial/organisational psychologists in South Africa. Towards happiness: Experiences of work-role fit, meaningfulness and work engagement of industrial/organisational psychologists in South Africa Abstract Orientation: The work of industrial/organisational (I/O) psychologists presents an interesting and relevant context for studying meaning and engagement as components of happiness.
Research purpose: The aim of this study was to determine how I/O psychologists experience the meaning of their work and to investigate the relationships between their experiences of work-role fit, meaning of work, psychological meaningfulness and work engagement, utilising the happiness framework proposed by Seligman (2002). Motivation for the study: I/O psychologists spend more than 88% of their working day with people, and they are primary role models for happiness in the workplace.
Information about their work engagement and experiences of meaning is therefore needed. Research design, approach and method: A survey design was used. 1.

Focus on employee engagement to boost work output, says study. August 18, 2011 - Washington A study has indicated that the performance management process should evaluate and focus on employee engagement in addition to job performance.
Engagement involves high levels of identification with one's work in terms of attention, absorption and feeling integrated in the performance of one's tasks and roles, according to a paper published from the University of Toronto and University of Guelph. The paper's authors - Professor Alan Saks from the University of Toronto and Professor Jamie Gruman of the University of Guelph - contend performance management should involve an evaluation of employee engagement and that for many companies enhancing employee performance can be best achieved by changing the focus of the performance management process to a focus on the management of employee engagement.
"Many companies do not recognize the importance of employee engagement to organizational performance," said Saks. "Engagement helps predict job performance," said Gruman.
