{"product_id":"the-concept-of-work-ability-lennart-nordenfelt-9789052014500","title":"The Concept of Work Ability","description":"This book contains a systematic analysis of the notion of work ability. The analysis is particularly focused on the following three contexts: medical insurance, training for a vocation or a profession and evaluation of a job seeker. The first part of the book presents and briefly analyzes some methods and instruments designed for characterizing and assessing work ability. The second part gives a theoretical foundation for the analysis of work ability. Here the author presents an original taxonomy of competencies and other qualifications for work and proposes a new definition of work ability. The third part is devoted to the issue of work ability and its relation to medical conditions. In addition to a description of certain legislations in the medico-insurance field, this part of the book contains a substantial analysis of the notion of disease and an attempt to determine whether there is a viable notion of disease that can answer the demands of objectivity raised by offices of social insurance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lennart Nordenfelt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9052014507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789052014500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Lennart Nordenfelt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450166358271,"sku":"9789052014500","price":51.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5309491b-6e6e-4efa-959b-ae0514c5c0ee.jpg?v=1777266490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-concept-of-work-ability-lennart-nordenfelt-9789052014500","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
