Difference and repetition

Research output: Book chapterChapter

Abstract

There is a sort of duality in the title of this book. The first reading is perhaps obvious. It suggests the idea that an individual can find meanings in their life in a working environment. However, if we pause after the word "meaning"; and then read "at work", it suggests the idea that meaning itself is active; that the organization is a repository of evolving meaning. In this reading, what the organization does and and how it is constructed are determined by a collective understanding of a specific interpretation of meaning - one that grows and develops as the organization itself changes.
