How do work–life support practices impact bank employees' subjective well-being?

Abstract

PurposeBased on the social exchange theory, the paper aims to explore the effects of work–life support (WLS) practices on subjective well-being through work engagement and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachData of 332 bank employees were collected in three waves and analyzed using AMOS and PROCESS macro.FindingsThe study revealed that WLS practices influenced employees' subjective well-being both directly and indirectly. The study's results further supported the serial mediation of the indirect effect through work engagement and job satisfaction.Practical implicationsOrganizational WLS practices are supposed to play an effective role in helping employees increase subjective well-being. Organizations should attach importance to implementing WLS practices to ensure that employees are engaged and satisfied. Furthermore, organizations should undertake and communicate favorable WLS practices to stimulate employees' work and non-work well-being.Originality/valueThe study is the first that examines the impact of WLS practices on employees' subjective well-being. Furthermore, the study offers novel insights regarding the dual mediation effect of work engagement and job satisfaction in the relationship between WLS practices and subjective well-being.

Engagement and Burnout in Times of COVID-19: A Comparative Analysis Based on Healthy Organizational Practices

“…A recent study conducted in 15 countries indicates that psychological capital based on hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, along with the promotion of culture and the development of healthy (or positive) organizational practices, are related to and even predict the well-being, increased performance, adaptability, and proactivity of workers [89]. This underscores the importance of having good organizational management based on the development of healthy practices [29,84,90,91], but it must necessarily be complemented by the development and progress of workers and their strengths, as proposed by the positive psychology movement [92,93] and subsequently corroborated by positive organizational psychology [94].…”

Technology infiltration: permeable boundaries and work–life spillover experiences among academics in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Management is likely to think there is no excuse for not working online even after the pandemic, as it will be a chance to raise revenue generation.

HR managers should critically consider how to address ICT-related health issues through better work designs and HR initiatives that respond to the health requirements of academics.…”

Digitalisaation mahdollisuudet työhyvinvoinnin edistämisessä yliopistosairaalassa: haastattelututkimus johtajille ja ammattilaisille

“…Digitalisaatiosta johtuva työhön kohdistuva muutos edellyttää huomion kiinnittämistä työhyvinvointiin [10], jolloin mahdollisesti lisääntyviä kuormitustekijöitä voidaan tunnistaa ja pyrkiä ehkäisemään jo muutosprosessin aikana [11,12]. Tässä tutkimuksessa työhyvinvointi ymmärretään yksilön työssä kokemana subjektiivisena hyvinvoinnin tilana, joka rakentuu vuorovaikutuksessa muun elämän ja kokonaishyvinvoinnin kanssa [11,13]. Työhyvinvoinnin kokemusta määrittävät työkyky, terveys ja persoonallisuus sekä työn sisältö, toimintaympäristö, työyhteisö, johtajuus ja organisaation menettelytavat [11].…”
