Estelle Morin worked on the concepts of "Meaning of work", "Meaningfulness of work" and "Meaningfulness at work". You can find some of her work here : http://www.irsst.qc.ca/media/documents/pubirsst/r-585.pdf

Dear colleague,

The psychological construct "calling" is gathering interest in the field of vocational psychology and it may provide some alternative perspectives for your research. Note that calling in the following papers is not necessarily about the traditional religious meaning of the expression.

Duffy, R. D., Autin, K. L., Allan, B. A., & Douglass, R. P. (2014). Assessing work as a calling: An evaluation of instruments and practice recommendations. Journal of Career Assessment. doi: 10.1177/1069072714547163

Duffy, R. D., & Autin, K. L. (2013). Disentangling the link between perceiving a calling and living a calling. Journal of Counseling Psychology, 60(2), 219-227. doi: 10.1037/a0031934

Dik, B. J., Eldridge, B. M., Steger, M. F., & Duffy, R. D. (2012). Development and validation of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ) and Brief Calling Scale (BCS). Journal of Career Assessment, 20(3), 242-263. doi: 10.1177/1069072711434410
