The Meaning of Work in Cameroon

This book focuses on human development through and by work. It shows how work and its meaning take root in a difficult context. Existential psychology, which serves as a framework for analysis, indicates that the quest for meaning is essential when work is lacking or in a crisis situation. The meaning of work in Cameroon is defined in terms of usefulness, understanding and direction. Its manifestations are not far removed from the definition of work proposed by Cameroonian employees. It corresponds to an occupation and a means of applying skills that contributes to people's economic, social and psychological development. The loss of meaning contributes to the development of disengagement, boredom, absenteeism, lower productivity... This book offers Cameroonian managers and employees suitable tools to initiate meaning support programs.
