Exploring New Occupational Discourses and Identities across Genres: Crisis and Well-Being

Abstract

This collection explores the reconceptualisation of work and professional identity in the post-COVID society, particularly in the context of the Great Resignation. By focusing on the linguistic and discursive constructions emerging from this occupational crisis, the proposed chapters investigate how evolving narratives across various genres reflect broader societal changes, especially among Millennials and Generation Z. Key themes include work-life balance, well-being, and the shifting power dynamics between employers and employees.
