The deep satisfaction and genuine happiness that comes from meaningful work — not just job satisfaction, but true joy in what you do for a living. It's the feeling of work as calling rather than burden.
Norwegian compound of 'arbeid' (work) + 'glede' (joy, happiness). This concept reflects Scandinavian cultural values that prioritize work-life balance and finding meaning in one's professional life, contrasting sharply with cultures that view work primarily as necessity.
