| Résumé: | This paper examines the effect of religiosity on the meaning of work for Jews in contemporary Israel. In 2006 the Meaning of Work study used a sample of 1175 Jews who were participating in the Israeli labor market. The findings reveal that religiosity affected all six dimensions of the meaning of work. Secular Jews had higher intrinsic and economic orientation and higher work centrality than traditionalists Jews and especially higher than religious Jews. Moreover, religiosity correlated positively to interpersonal relations and obligation and entitlement norms. The findings and their meaning in the unique Israeli reality are discussed in the paper. |
