What we will call the liberal model of work can be thought of as occupying a middle ground between the conventional model and the human fulfillment school. Like the conventional model, liberals hold that individual workers should be free to choose the ends of their work. People choose to work for many reasons and may willingly accept undesirable jobs simply as a means to earn money. Liberals deny that there is some single. Human end that all work should serve. Nevertheless, like believers in the human fulfillment school, liberals recognize that humans can be significantly influenced by their work and argue that we should make ethical assessments of work a on the basis of how work affects workers. Liberals part company with the fulfillment school the Meaning and Value of work when they specify the grounds on which that assessment is made. The human fulfillment school makes that judgment on the basis of some vision of what makes a good meaningful human life Liberals make that judgment in terms of how work affects a worker s ability to make free and autonomous decisions about their own life. Philosopher Norman Bowie provides a good example of a liberal theory of workers and those who defend an objective normative definition of meaningful work
