Learning at Work: Beyond Human Capital
Author(s)Lane, Robert E.
AbstractThis article employs a definition of work that disengages it from pain or disutility: “Work is the effort or activity an individual performs for the purpose of providing goods or services of value to others or the self and it is also considered to be work by the individual so involved.” To show the important role still played by work in most individuals’ development, this article draws on five studies by psychologists who have examined the actual effects of work on workers.
