ABSTRACT

Having a regular day-time occupation, whether it is paid work, housework, studying, or voluntary work, is an important part of our lives. If it's the right job for the right person, work can be an important source of self-esteem. It can provide pleasure, challenge, and stimulation. Very few people actually feel that positively about their job at all times, but they still appreciate the fact that their work gives them independence, a sense of purpose, and a daily routine.
