“…In a context where the well-being of our workforce plays a critical role in sustaining a delicate economic, social, and political balance, it seems prudent to activate all potential avenues towards well-being, not only in hedonic terms of happiness and satisfaction, but also in terms of (EWB) which goes beyond feeling good to capture psychological good functioning [11]. This study aims to contribute to our limited understanding of the unique contribution of EWB-both in terms of how it is shaped, as well as to how, and under which conditions, it relates to work-related outcomes [11,12].…”

Demanding and complex work within mental health care organizations places employee well-being at risk and raises the question of how we can positively influence the psychological well-being and functioning of these employees. This study explores the role of servant leadership and workplace civility climate in shaping eudaimonic well-being among 312 employees in a Dutch mental health care organization. The findings showed that servant leadership had a stronger relationship with eudaimonic well-being when workplace civility climate was high. Furthermore, the results showed that servant leadership was positively related to workplace outcomes, partially through eudaimonic well-being, and that this mediating process varied across different levels of workplace civility climate. This study contributes to the scholarly understanding of the role of servant leadership and a positive work climate in shaping psychological well-being at work.

“…Kinderen and Khapova (2020) highlighted how eudaimonic well-being can be operationalized as an element of positive PWB (Kinderen & Khapova, 2020). Positive psychological intervention can play an effective role in the enhancement of well-being (Koydemir et al, 2021).…”

“…Positive PsyCap acts as a cognitive resource reservoir which influences well-being and explains additional variance over time (Avey et al, 2010).

“…In the practical sense, this distinction is important because hedonic happiness is known to be short-lived, while eudaimonia is the long-run goal. If organizations wish to hire the best and want best from their employees, they need to ensure right kind of well-being which focus on eudaimonic PWB other aspects associated with eudaimonia (Kinderen & Khapova, 2020). Theoretically, there has not been much focus on the eudaimonic aspect of well-being (Grant & McGhee, 2020).…”

Is the psychological well-being (PWB) of employees essential to be considered by organizations? Does it have an impact on an organization in the long-run? This study attempts to provide a holistic view of literature on PWB and how it has become indispensable for employees and the organization. The study also proposes a framework consisting of precedents and outcomes of PWB of employees in organizations. A review of the literature of 142 studies was done using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework along with the main construct PWB and ten related organizational variables. PWB has been analysed from a eudaimonic perspective. Literature review reveals the scarcity of management literature on the eudaimonic sense of well-being of employees, and how well-being is not distinguished on the basis of its philosophical roots. Our research discusses the variables which have been studied comprehensively in juxtaposition with well-being, and also those variables which are yet to be explored with eudaimonia as the focus. The study is a novel attempt to systematize literature on the under-examined eudaimonic perspective of PWB of employees and its relationship with prominent organizational variables. The study intends to give practitioners and the managers value adding insights into the factors that affect the PWB of employees and also how these factors can be honed for better employee mental health leading to higher organizational returns.
