Routledge - The Psychology of Becoming a Successful Worker

What defines success in the modern workplace? This research-based book from Routledge examines the changing nature of achievement and how top workers describe their accomplishments. While success is often linked to career-oriented individuals who sacrifice personal time, this text explores alternative definitions of professional achievement. Readers will learn how success can stem from an inner drive to work well, resulting in feelings of knowledge, competence, and mastery. The book moves beyond traditional views to look at how work, community, leadership, family, and home life can all play a role in promoting success. By focusing on employees who have been rewarded for their specific skills, this work provides a deep look into the psychological drivers of achievement in today's evolving work environments.
