I don't think it is all subjective. I think people have objective knowledge of the collective contents of humans sense perceptions.
How do you define "work"? Here you will see the role of culture because it is inevitable that you will give an answer that is based in part on the culture and language that you live in.
Unless the powerful can show their standard to be objective. Hah. Do you read JS Mill much? He had a very deep sense of confidence in the ability of power to be mediated through discussion and the exchange of ideas. I think it is a bunch of balooney. "Objectivity" is a standard that has some relation to how people think, but is deeply connected with other values.
