Smysluplnost práce ve farmaceutickém průmyslu

The thesis is concerned with issues of work meaningfulness in the pharmaceutical industry. The theoretical part deals with possible theoretical concepts of meaningful work because there is not one correct definition that would clearly define what meaningful work is and what it is made of. It also deals with the positives that meaningful work brings, how it can be supported and what, on the contrary, disrupts it. The aim of this thesis is to find out what is the perception of the meaningfulness of work by workers in the pharmaceutical industry. The research was carried out through a semi-structured interview with 6 employees from a pharmaceutical company and was focused on finding influences that affect the perception of work as meaningful. The results of the research mediated by the thematic analysis pointed to the fact that work in the pharmaceutical industry is not necessarily the main source of meaningfulness of work, although it is one of the professions that benefit society in some way.
