THE CONCEPT OF WORK ABILITY - LENNART NORDENFEL...

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.
