This book examines how workplace dynamics shape mental health and well-being, focusing on the social distribution and interpretation of stressors, mitigators, and resources across different civil service grades. It shows that the meanings attributed to these factors influence both their impact and effectiveness. Exploring the shifting role and value of work in the 21st century, the book draws on extensive research—including the Whitehall II Studies—to highlight the unequal distribution of work-related harms. In-depth interviews provide a sociological and holistic view of job satisfaction, revealing how employees at different levels navigate challenges: lower grades emphasise social relationships, middle grades prioritise work-life balance, and higher grades focus on purpose and commitment. This book will be of interest to those looking for a nuanced account of the complex relationship between work and mental health.
