The article discusses the evolving perceptions towards work, particularly following COVID-19, as individuals seek better work-life balance. It highlights the focus on the psychosocial work environment, which includes autonomy, boundary management, and precarity as key factors influencing employee satisfaction. It posits that a fundamental disconnect between workers and their work may necessitate addressing work conditions rather than solely focusing on employee responses. This highlights a broader societal and structural concern impacting mental health and job engagement.
The prevalence-and popularity-of these responses suggest that there has been quite a change in many people's attitudes to the way they earn a living.
Even something as simple (yet important) as the number of hours someone works might be the result of a complex combination of national law, professional expectations, and an organization's resources.
Autonomy is about how much control and influence you have when it comes to doing your job and is key to how most employees feel about their work.
Research in this field suggests that there are three conditions vital to the modern work experience: autonomy, boundary management, and 'precarity.'
