THE PHILOSOPHY OF WORK: UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF WORK

This article presents a comprehensive study on the philosophy of work, with an emphasis on the meaning and values of work in a modern context. Within the framework of the work, an in-depth literary review was conducted, which allows us to track historical changes in the perception of work from antiquity to the present day. Further, using a sociological survey of 50 respondents, modern trends and people's attitude to labor activity were revealed. The survey results demonstrate the growing value of work as a means of self-realization and personal growth, reflecting a shift in emphasis from material aspects to psychological ones. Focus groups were also organized as part of the study, where participants discussed current needs in the context of their work. As a result, it is revealed that modern technological innovations and socio-cultural changes lead to a rethinking of the role of work in human life, focusing on the quality of the working environment, flexibility of schedules and opportunities for continuous learning. In conclusion, the article emphasizes the need for further research in this area to adapt educational and organizational structures to the changing needs of the labor market.
