本研究探討工作的意義以及個體在職場中的存有條件。核心研究問題「工作體驗的意義是什麼？」反映了企業組織中長期存在的重要議題。在管理與心理學領域中，工作的意義通常被理解為需求的滿足或某種心理狀態。然而，生命意義的本質往往被忽略，使得從孤立的工作經驗中所產生的意義缺乏穩固與持久的基礎。此一經驗科學研究中的侷限，顯示有必要從哲學層面重新探討生命意義的問題。為了回應此一問題，本文首先援引狄爾泰的生命哲學，並以其生命詮釋概念作為理解工作意義的哲學架構。此外，本文亦從正式系統與非正式系統兩個面向，闡明企業組織的本質結構，並藉此指出組織生活中所存在的辯證張力。當研究問題進一步深化為「工作世界如何使體驗成為可能？」時，狄爾泰的生命哲學因主要運作於具體層次（ontical）而顯現其侷限。為回應此一問題，本文轉而依據《存有與時間》中海德格的存有論分析，以揭示人類個體的普遍存有論條件。透過「此在」的存有分析，本文進一步闡明關照事物（concern）、關懷他人（solicitude）與自我關切（care for oneself）作為個體在工作世界中實踐關聯性的存有論模式。依據海德格的觀點，在存有論層次中運作的結構亦必須在具體層次中被經驗。因此，本文結合狄爾泰生命詮釋的構成性結構與海德格對「此在」的詮釋學，進行一次具體層次的回轉，並發展出一套「存有論—具體層次」（ontological–ontical）的生命詮釋體系，藉此導出對工作意義的實踐性詮釋。本研究最重要的洞見，在於重新概念化工作的意義：它不僅是心理層面的需求實現，而是一種個體存有的結構性構成，在此結構中生命透過對自身的詮釋而揭示其意義。本文所提出的「存有論—具體層次」生命詮釋系統，亦可進一步擴展並應用於理解具體工作情境中的工作意義。;This study explores the meaning of work and the existential conditions of the individual in the workplace. The primary research question， “What is the meaning of work experience?”， reflects a persistent concern in business organizations. In business and psychology， work meaning has often been understood in terms of need fulfillment or certain psychological states. However， the essence of life meaning has largely been neglected， leaving meanings derived from detached work experiences without solid and stable grounding. This limitation in empirical studies suggests the need for a philosophical inquiry into the meaning of life. To address this issue， the study first draws on the life philosophy of Wilhelm Dilthey and his concept of life interpretation as a philosophical framework for understanding work meaning. In addition， the nature of business organizations is clarified in terms of formal and informal systems， through which dialectical tensions within organizational life are identified. When the question is further deepened to ask， “How does the work world make experience possible?”， Dilthey’s life philosophy encounters limitations because it operates primarily at the ontical level. To respond to this problem， the study turns to Being and Time by Martin Heidegger in order to disclose the general ontological conditions of human individual. Through Heidegger’s existential analytic， concern， solicitude， and care for oneself are articulated as ontological modes of practical involvement in the work world. According to Heidegger， what operates at the ontological level must also be experienced ontically. Accordingly， by combining Dilthey’s constitutive structure of life interpretation with Heidegger’s hermeneutics of Dasein， this study performs an ontical return and develops an ontological–ontical system of life interpretation， through which the practical interpretation of work meaning can be derived. The central insight of this study is a reconceptualization of work meaning—not merely as psychological need fulfillment but as a structural constitution of human existence through which life interprets itself and reveals its significance. The proposed ontological–ontical system of life interpretation can be further expanded and applied to understand work meaning in concrete work situations.
