Background: Psychological well-being is not just a static trait but a dynamic construct that can change over time. Given the dynamic nature of psychological well-being, which can fluctuate in response to life events, stressors, and developmental changes, the need for reliable and sensitive measurement tools is paramount. Objective: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the reliability generalization of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) as a suitable tool for assessing individual psychological well-being at any point in time. Method: This meta-analysis uses a systematic search method and stringent inclusion criteria to assess the reliability of the Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) in a variety of demographic contexts. To ensure objectivity, this meta-analysis assesses the SPWB utilizing a pre-registered procedure (CRD42024508542). With QUADAS-2 and COSMIN Risk of Bias serving as guiding principles for quality assessment, data from ten research published between 2015 and 2023 were analysed using a common and random-effects model. Knowledge of the psychometric qualities of SPWB is improved by this work. Results: The meta-analysis confirmed the SPWB's high reliability, with both models showing a 0.92 reliability coefficient (95% CI [0.88; 0.95]) and significant statistical support (z = 48.69 and 45.93, p < .05). Minimal study variability (τ²= 0.0002, I² = 0.0%) and a non-significant heterogeneity test (Q = 7.58, df = 9, p = .57). The meta-analysis on SPWB versions SPWB-6 to SPWB-40 showed high reliability, with Cronbach’s alpha from 0.70 to 0.96. Common and random effects models indicated alphas of 0.92 and 0.89, respectively, and low to moderate heterogeneity (I² = 26.7%). The meta-analysis on psychological well-being dimensions showed high consistency, with Cronbach's alphas from 0.68 to 0.70. Overall reliability was strong (z-value 6.04, p < .05), with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0.0%, Q = 0.00, p = 1.00), indicating consistent reliability across dimensions. Conclusion: This meta-analysis reinforces the significance of Ryff's SPWB as a reliable and versatile tool for assessing individual psychological well-being at any point, highlighting its implications for both practice and research.

The Impact of Optimism and Internal Locus of Control on Workers’ Well-Being, A Multi-Group Model Analysis before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2022

The COVID-19 crisis led to changes in different areas of workers’ lives, as well as repercussions in stress management, social relationships, and perception of personal and professional growth. Considering this, well-being in the workplace is crucial to carrying out effective activities and performance, and it is also essential to verifying the impact of the pandemic on the current situation of workers’ overall well-being. The study investigates the mediation of Personal Growth (PG) between two personal resources at work, Internal Locus (LOCI) and Optimism (OPT), on the Pemberton Happiness Index (PHI), an important multi-faceted indicator of well-being. This study was conducted on respondents performing professions (n = 666), both before (2019, n = 410) and during the pandemic (2020, n = 256). The relationships were tested simultaneously using a multi-group structural equation model (MPLUS7). The estimated model shows that personal resources at work increase PG (LOCI mostly during the pandemic; OPT mostly before the pandemic); OPT directly increases PHI; PG increases PHI (mostly before the pandemic); and personal resources increase through PG and PHI (LOCI more during the pandemic; OPT more before the pandemic). The study is cross-sectional, as it was not possible to compare the same workers over two years. The research offers ideas for activation of training programs, support and development of individual resources, and personal growth aimed at improving well-being and the work experience for workers.
