Career wisdom means accepting some uncertaintyThe researchers describe the ability to make decisions under these conditions as career wisdom. Meaningful work linked career wisdom to better outcomesParticipants with higher career-wisdom scores at the start of the study tended to report more meaningful work three months later. Meaningful work generally refers to work that a person regards as significant, worthwhile or personally valuable. A 2019 meta-analysis covering 44 articles and 23,144 participants found large correlations between meaningful work and job satisfaction, work engagement and organisational commitment. Further research is required before anybody can say which training or management practices reliably increase career wisdom or meaningful work.
