Well-being and performance at work: the role of context
This edited book is an authoritative and in-depth examination of the relationship between well-being and job performance. It will integrate research on these two issues, which are still seen by some readers as contrasting concepts. The meaning and value of well-being is a critical issue as it crosses cultures, socio-economic classes, and organizational levels. It has implications at the individual, work group, organization, and society level. The examination considers the personal and corporate costs and benefits of well-being and how to improve well-being and organizational performance. The chapter authors are the major scholars in their fields who provide a solid understanding of underlying theory as well as behavioural, job and organization design, and policy interventions to improve quality of life and work performance.
