“…The absence of meaning in work, whether in the process or whether in the result, may lead the individual to alienation (Morin, 2004) and to the diminishment of the capacity of thinking and acting. Andrade et al (2012) differentiate the instrumental meaning of work (survival, financial return, and safety) from the substantive meaning of work (autonomy, relationships, learning, development, acknowledgment), founding their arguments on the concept of instrumental and substantive rationality, both always present in people (Silva & Simões, 2015).…”
