Order placed directly at the Publisher - SUN MeDIA BLOEMFONTEINWork has always been part of mans history and a crucial factor in social organisation. According to the traditional career development perspective, work is viewed as having many dimensions or functions. First, work has an economic function: people work to earn some sort of wage or are involved in activities to be rewarded in such a way that they can sustain themselves and their dependents in order to fulfil certain primary needs.Second, there is a social dimension to work: the occupation or work that individuals are involved in determines to a large extent where and how they live, the community and organisations in which they participate and many other social aspects of their lives. Social status has long been associated with individuals jobs. Third, work has a personal or psychological dimension. It is an essential source of identity and provides people with the feeling of self-worth and self-esteem as they experience a feeling of mastery and self-fulfilment when they successfully engage in work activities.
The World of Work can also bring about challenges especially amongst the youth of our country, South Africa, who are statistically speaking in majority. The intention of this book is to highlight challenges faced by students after dropping out from school, finishing Grade 12 or tertiary education and are ready to enter the world of work.Publication Date: August 2012
