| Sažetak: | This volume is part of the GoodWork Project, which studied the concept of good work for about 10 years through interviews with some 1,200 Americans in a variety of fields. Gardner (cognition and education, Harvard Graduate School of Education) assembles 14 chapters that consider responsibilities that arise in the workplace and present a model that demonstrates the factors that underlie good work--personal standards, and cultural, social, and outcome controls--as well as lessons learned from different professions, and recommendations on improvement. Chapters detail the characteristics of good work--particularly achieving work that is socially responsible, ethical, and moral--in law, medicine, philanthropy, genetics, theater, journalism, business, K-12 education, and higher education, and aspects such as caring, creativity, religion, responsibility at different stages of life, gender, culture, limiting responsibility, and irresponsible work. Both subject and name indexes are provided. Contributors were participants in the GoodWork Project or are scholars in the fields of educational and positive developmental psychology, education, and humanities in the US and Europe.
