Abstract
Why, despite unprecedented levels of material wealth and opportunities for success, are professionals increasingly alienated from their work? Incentives are a recent development in economic theories impacting well being, therefore, many times inviting us toward materialism, a superficial living, resulting in feelings of emptiness and lack of life purpose. Personal callings enlighten the design of life, helping to find life meaning. Drawing upon multiple disciplines, we posit an integrative emerging theory of life meaning where an appropriate balance of meaningful work, proper family functioning, and the continued development of the self lead to a meaningful life. Organizationally, proper human resource initiatives are at the cornerstone of healthy organizations where implementing spaces to develop life meaning initiatives turn into more productive, focused, engaged, and committed professionals. Proper job design, work-life balance, and the commitment to personal and professional growth are key drivers within organizations to life meaning. It is time to bring back the multidimensionality of the human being to the human resource discipline, and organizations.
