About
Clara Zwettler is an emerging scholar whose research explores the intersection of meaningful work, career psychology, and the evolving dynamics of the gig economy. Her work critically examines how a sense of calling—often seen as a positive force—can paradoxically lead to excessive working and burnout, particularly among independent workers. In her most-cited paper, “Is living a calling really a double-edged sword? A latent profile analysis of living a calling and excessive working in the gig economy,” Zwettler uses sophisticated latent profile analysis to identify distinct profiles of gig workers, revealing that for some, a deep sense of calling is linked to overwork and negative career outcomes. This nuanced contribution challenges simplistic views of calling as uniformly beneficial, offering vital insights for career counselors and policymakers. Though early in her career, with her work already garnering citations, Zwettler is establishing herself as a thoughtful voice on the hidden costs of passion-driven labor. Her research is particularly relevant for students and scholars interested in meaningful work, precarious employment, and the psychological trade-offs of pursuing one’s calling in the modern economy.
