Abstract

AbstractThis study examined one's compensatory response to the sudden disappearance of the meaning of work. In a lab experiment, the unexpected termination of a preceding task was found to enhance one's labor supply in an irrelevant ensuing task, which provided direct support for one's pursuit of meaning and the fluid compensation strategy proposed by the Meaning Maintenance Model.
