PDF full text is at [1]. Looks like it is legitimately published by the principal author's university.

Reading the full text, I can't help but notice the mention of "Episodic" meaningfulness, which means that meaningfulness peaks at certain times rather than being present at a constant level throughout.

Does this apply to the feelings about what someone is doing that day, or does it apply to the job as a whole?
