ABSTRACT
CHAPTER2What is Work? It is interesting to note that, although many books are written about work and organisations, it is rare to find a clear definition. The word ‘work’ is used often and in many different ways. The Oxford English Dictionary affords the term considerable space referring to expenditure of effort, striving, exertion of force in overcoming resistance, tasks to be undertaken, achievement, employment, earning money and to have influence or effect – to mention only a few.
