The theoretical framework that we present to organize the extant literature on the meaning of work draws from
Bakan (1966), who proposed a tension between self and other, on the one hand, and agency and communion on the
other. Similar frameworks have been derived from action research on existential meaning. Lips-Wiersma and Morris
(2009) introduce a multidimensional, dual-axis model of meaningful work and life, where existential meaning lies in
equilibrium among self-other and being-doing. In their theorizing, Pratt and Ashforth (2003) also propose a 2 2
model of meaningfulness in work, highlighting the importance of belongingness, authenticity, and transcendence in
fostering meaningful work. These frameworks share important and encouraging similarities with the framework we
derived from our review, and were pioneering steps in bringing various sources of the meaning of work together into a
more unified
view.
Our
model
shares
a
focus
on
the
tension
between
self
and
other
described
in
one dimension
of
Lips-Wiersma’s (2002; Lips-Wiersma& Morris, 2009) multidimensional model. The tension we describe in the dimension
of our
model
that
is
anchored
by
agency
and
communion
also
draws
from
Bakan
(1966)
and
contrasts
seeking
communion with
the
self
and
other
entities
with
differentiating
or
individuating
the
self
from
said
entities.
Alternatively, the second dimension of Lips-Wiersma’s (2002; Lips-Wiersma & Morris, 2009) multidimensional
model emphasizes the tension between ‘‘being,’’ or pursuing personal growth, authenticity, and belongingness and
‘‘doing,’’ or
pursuing
individual
creation
and
impact
on
others.
The
four
quadrants
that
result
in
our model,
emphasizing unification,
individuation,
contribution,
and
self-connection
share
some
elements
in
common
with
the
empirical results of Lips-Wiersma’s (2002; Lips-Wiersma & Morris, 2009) multidimensional model regarding
the focus of activity and thought in work.
