This article, with 260 citations, appears in The Canadian Vetinary Journal, of all things. 

Stoewen DL 2017, Dimensions of wellness: Change your habits, change your life. Can Vet J, vol. 58, no 8, pp. 861-862, here.

It's actually aimed at veterinarian well being, which explains what's going on.

Stoewen refers to what I call occupational wellbeing, as "vocational" wellness, which is quite good, and defines it as follows, which is also quite good:

  • Preparing for and participating in work that provides personal satisfaction and life enrichment that is consistent with your values, goals, and lifestyle
  • Contributing your unique gifts, skills, and talents to work that is personally meaningful and rewarding

My only caveat is a need to be clear that "work" is not necessarily confined to a career, but is rather about your life's work or calling, which may well include a career, or not, or both.
