This week (3/23/09 through 03/29/09) on Work Matters we talk about the issue of passion about our work.

Do you think you need to settle for a passion-less job? In these economic times, should you give up on the concept of finding passionate work and engaging workplaces? My guest, University of Idaho assistant professor Michael Kroth says, "No!" Michael is an expert on passionate work and the author of two books, Transforming Work and The Manager as Motivator.

Then in my regular weekly segments, Uncommon Sense and Something to Think About, I add my own tips on how to create work-luck in turbulent economic times.
