Meaning
joy that comes from the work itself — job satisfaction
The story
Arbejde is work, glæde is joy, and Danes treat the compound as a hiring requirement: it appears in ordinary job ads and gets measured in annual surveys. The rest of Scandinavia has the word too. English offers job satisfaction, which sounds like a form to fill in.
