Objectives

 

  1. Deepen the analysis of the sustainability of well-being and performance at work (SWBW)  and the dynamic relationship between both constructs and different organizational factors in a longitudinal study with three moments of measurement. This analysis guides the proposal of the redesign of work and human resource practices that allow competitive and satisfactory improvements for employees.                                                                                                                                                              
  2. Analyze the role of personal factors (both individually and collectively) in determining the SWBW (psychological capital, proactive behaviors, work capacity and personal values) and make a proposal for the improvement of the SWBW .                                                                                                   
  3. Analyze the SWBW from a generational perspective that allows a more complex and integrative vision of the phenomena related to age and aging processes and their relationship with well-being and performance at work. With this, it is necessary to contribute to the design and development of intervention programs to adapt the work to older workers, making this activity more salutogenic, satisfactory and productive.                                                                                                   
  4. Carry out a comparative study of the determining factors of the BLS in Spain with other geographic areas of special relevance. Italy (which having a crisis situation relatively similar to Spain has lower unemployment levels) and two countries in Eastern Europe and Latin America that traditionally generate migratory flows to our country are taken as reference. This should allow a more comprehensive design to improve job search and job integration of young people in organizations.
