Here is my favorite definition of work?

Many people have different ideas about work. What is your favorite definition and concept?

Most agree it is a four letter word, but that is about where the similarity stops. Marsha Sinetar cited that a national poll indicted that more that a large percentage of working Americans said they did not like their work. [1]

The Gallup Poll has reported that more than sixty percent did not like their work.

What theory of career choice do you think most adequately explains the Gallup Poll results and /or the survey as stated by Marsha Sinetar?
