The Dark Sides of Careers: What It Means When We Don't Succeed at Work

By Nikos Bozionelos

While career success stories are studied extensively, their negative aspects often get overlooked.

This book explores the darker sides of careers, examining the implications for organizations, societies, economies and individuals themselves. It sheds light on key issues such as the role of careers in people's advancement through social and economic capital, the dark personality traits often found in successful people and how careers can become a form of modern servitude.

Combining scholarly, practitioner and policymaking perspectives, this is a valuable contribution to debates around futures of work.
