Employee well-being in organizations: Theoretical model, scale development, and cross-cultural validation
In this study, we explore the theoretical model and structural dimensions of employee well-being (EWB) in organizations. Specifically, using both qualitative and quantitative methods, we find that EWB comprises three dimensions: life well-being, workplace well-being, and psychological well-being. We establish the reliability and validity of the newly developed EWB scale through a series of quantitative studies, which indicate that EWB is significantly correlated with affective organizational commitment and job performance based on the data collected from multiple sources at two points in time. We find that EWB has measurement invariance (configural invariance) across Chinese and American contexts. We also discuss the theoretical contributions of these findings to cross-cultural organizational behavior studies, along with the practical implications of our results.

Arbeitsintensivierung und Handlungsspielraum in digitalisierten Arbeitswelten - Herausforderung für das Wohlbefinden von Beschäftigten?
Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es zu untersuchen, wie die Einführung neuer Technologien mit der Arbeitsintensität, der Autonomie und den monotonen Aufgaben von Beschäftigten zusammenhängt. Weiterhin wird untersucht, ob und inwieweit der empirisch gut dokumentierte Zusammenhang zwischen diesen Arbeitsbedingungen und dem Wohlbefinden der Beschäftigten durch die Einführung neuer Technologien moderiert wird. Die Analysen basieren auf der BIBB/BAuA-Erwerbstätigenbefragung 2006, 2012 und 2018, die es ermöglicht, zwischen neu eingeführten Computerprogrammen und neu eingeführten Fertigungs- oder Verfahrenstechnologien zu unterscheiden. OLS-Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Einführung neuer Technologien mit einer erhöhten Arbeitsintensität verbunden ist. Hinsichtlich der Autonomie und monotonen Tätigkeiten gibt es Unterschiede je nach Art der eingesetzten Technologie. Die Analysen zeigen ferner, dass die Einführung neuer Computerprogramme den Zusammenhang zwischen Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsunzufriedenheit bzw. psychosomatischen Gesundheitsbeschwerden teilweise moderiert. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Einführung neuer Technologien mit Chancen und Risiken sowohl für die Arbeitssituation als auch für das Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeiter verbunden ist und in den Aushandlungsprozessen der Sozialpartner stärker berücksichtigt werden sollten.

Insights into entrepreneurship: impact of entrepreneur psychological capital and employee well-being on business sustainable performance during and post-Covid-19 era
Since Covid-19 is an enduring disease that pushed the world to reshape business strategies to overcome the unprecedented situations in all sectors such as the sports industry. Although substantial research has been carried out to inspect this phenomenon globally. Nevertheless, how entrepreneurial initiatives can contribute to tackling the situation is still lacking. This study attempts to uncover the relationships between entrepreneur psychological capital (EPC) and business sustainable performance (BSF). Second, this study strives to reveal the relationships between employee wellbeing (EWb) and BSP. In addition, education is treated as a moderating factor to unfold the relationships among factors, i.e., EPC, EWb, and BSF. Data were collected from eight hundred (n = 800) participants who were associated with the Chinese sports industry from March to July 2022. The results demonstrated interesting and fruitful findings based on SEM statistical model. First, a positive connection was found between EPC and BSF. Second, it found a positive link between EWb and BSF. Finally, the study highlighted a significant moderating impact of education among implicit relationships, i.e., EPC, EWb, and BSF. This study provides insights into entrepreneurship, entrepreneur psychological capital, and employee wellbeing on how it can optimize the performance of a business during and post-Covid-19 era. Besides, certain shortcomings along with future potential lines are reported for future researchers.

Social trends in American life
Social Trends in American Lifeassembles a team of leading researchers to provide unparalleled insight into how American social attitudes and behaviors have changed since the 1970s. Drawing on the General Social Survey--a social science project that has tracked demographic and attitudinal trends in the United States since 1972--it offers a window into diverse facets of American life, from intergroup relations to political views and orientations, social affiliations, and perceived well-being.
Among the book's many important findings are the greater willingness of ordinary Americans to accord rights of free expression to unpopular groups, to endorse formal racial equality, and to accept nontraditional roles for women in the workplace, politics, and the family. Some, but not all, signs indicate that political conservatism has grown, while a few suggest that Republicans and Democrats are more polarized. Some forms of social connectedness such as neighboring have declined, as has confidence in government, while participation in organized religion has softened. Despite rising standards of living, American happiness levels have changed little, though financial and employment insecurity has risen over three decades.
Social Trends in American Lifeprovides an invaluable perspective on how Americans view their lives and their society, and on how these views have changed over the last two generations.

Mavi Yakalı Çalışanların İşten Ayrılma Eğilimleri ve Psikolojik Sermaye İlişkisinde Çalışan İyi Olma Halinin Aracı Rolü: Mobilya Sektörü Üzerine Bir Alan Araştırması
This study aims to determine the mediating role of employee well-being in the relationship between psychological capital and turnover intention. The hypotheses were tested by path analysis on the data from 163 blue collars. According to the study, there is a strong positive relationship between psychological capital and well-being. Psychological capital positively predicts subjective and psychological well-being but cannot directly predict workplace well-being. The turnover intention doesn't have a significant relationship with psychological capital, well-being, and its sub-dimensions, and the dimensions of well-being don't have a mediating effect. Turnover intention tends to decrease in married and highly educated employees.

100 years running: The need to understand why employee physical activity benefits organizations
Summary Employee physical activity initiatives are commonplace, but management scholarship has not kept pace with theoretical and empirical work to validate such initiatives. In this Incubator, we clarify the employee physical activity construct, present mechanisms linking physical activity to organizationally valued outcomes, and consider the dark side of employee physical activity initiatives.

How Plant Managers' Experiences and Attitudes Toward Sustainability Relate to Operational Performance
Managers are increasingly faced with pressure to think not just about profits, but also about their organization's environmental and social performance. This research provides a first examination of operational managers' experiences with and attitudes about employee well‐being and environmental issues, how these factors impact employee well‐being and environmental performance, and how the three performance measures interrelate. We use violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and Toxic Release Inventory reports of emissions as proxies for employee well‐being and environmental performance. Our findings suggest that operational managers do not (yet) think in sustainability terms. However, employee well‐being and environmental performance do interact in a significant way with operational performance. Hence, operational managers would benefit from a more complete understanding of the relationships among the elements of the triple bottom line.
