Description

The main objective of BELASOS is to identify the conditions of the organizational contexts that generate sustainable labor well-being at work, by integrating the study of well-being at work with that of performance and productivity.
 

The characteristics of the job position and human resources practices as antecedents of a sustainable work well-being in the diffrent stages of the career
Belasos (PSI2012-36557)

During the last decades, important transformations have been experienced both in the socio-economic context, as well as in the labor markets, organizations and work. The recent and persistent economic crisis and high unemployment rates are raising doubts about the sustainability of well-being levels at work achieved in previous decades.

The concept of sustainable work well-being (BLS) refers to the long-term maintenance of psychological health, job satisfaction and personal growth of workers in a workplace in which they experience a high degree of commitment in turn. work, and high levels of performance and productivity. In this context, the objective of this research is to identify the conditions of the organizational contexts that generate BLS in workers, by integrating the study of well-being at work with that of performance and productivity.

In this research we propose to formulate and validate the construct of sustainable labor well-being (BLS) and analyze its antecedents, the measures adopted by the different actors to promote it and its dynamics over time. Specifically, through a field study with a longitudinal design, we are studying the role of job characteristics and human resource management practices in the development of the BLS.

Furthermore, these factors are studied from both the employer and the employee perspective. Taking into consideration the way in which individual actions (how people change their jobs and try to influence their working conditions) and organizational (job redesign and changes in human resources practices) can have a modulating effect on these relationships.

Finally, it is analyzed how the BLS, and its relationships with the proposed antecedent variables, are produced and affect workers of different age cohorts.

Workers and managers of different collaborating companies located in the Valencian Community, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands participate in this research.

This project has been funded by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of the Government of Spain DGICYT (PSI2012-36557).

Results for the companies

Work has been carried out to disseminate both the theoretical model of the project and the specific results related to the company itself to the collaborating companies. This work has been extended to companies in general in the conferences held in the family business chair (Peiró, 2014e) and in Foment del treball (Peiró, 2015) (see the references in the research publications section (Link to that section).

In addition, each collaborating company receives a report with the general results of their company, always safeguarding anonymity and confidentiality, in accordance with current legislation. In this report they also have a comparison of their organization with the global data of the sector to which they belong.

This allows them to broaden their knowledge of the reality of the company in each variable, in a general way and / or by teams, an example of this is the following graph in which the results of a work unit are presented in comparison with the global results Company (fictitious example):

Results for the researchers

The research we are conducting tries to contribute to the basic knowledge of the “new job” and its implications in the development of a sustainable labor well-being in the current situation of economic crisis and differentially analyzing these phenomena for different age cohorts.

Its main purpose is to formulate and validate a new construct that allows a better understanding of the dynamics between well-being, performance and productivity in organizations and that we have called sustainable labor well-being (BLS). Looking at the same time for different factors that positively influence the BLS, such as the characteristics of the job or Human Resources practices. In this way we propose to establish a new Theoretical Model, which takes into account the different variables raised, which allows us to analyze the new reality of work.

Another of the fundamental objectives is aimed at analyzing some characteristics of the organization and the individual that may be modulating the relationship between BLS and their work history. To do this, we adopt a double perspective focused on the actions that both the employee and the employer carry out to influence the characteristics of the job and the employee-employer relationships (job crafting, job redesign, and changes in resource practices humans). Finally, the model is contrasted in different age cohorts, in order to identify possible differences between these groups and thus contribute to better age management in organizations.

Currently, progress has been made in meeting the various proposed objectives, as detailed below. In the research publications section, the works developed to date can be consulted.

Analysis of job characteristics and their changes by employers and employees (job redesign and  job-crafting)

The validity and reliability of the job characteristics and job crafting scales and their relationship with well-being and job performance measures have been analyzed. Positive relationships have been found between the characteristics of autonomy and support and the eudaimonic operationalization of well-being (Villajos, et al., 2014). Relationships have also been found between changes initiated by employees in their jobs (job crafting) and creative performance (García-Buades et al., 2014). Progress has been made in the analysis of the background of job crafting, (Caballer et al., 2014; Villajos et al., 2014). Finally, analyzes have been started on the role of other personal variables such as orientations to happiness on work well-being (Peiró et al., 2014). In some works, the results of the validity and reliability analyzes of other scales such as the psychological contract have been presented (Rodríguez et al., 2014).

Analysis of the incidence of human resources practices, changes in them and the interpretation of employees

The validity and reliability of the human resources practices scale has been analyzed, indicating good results in both indices of said scale (Villajos, 2014; Villajos et al., 2014). Likewise, the relationships of these practices with different operationalizations of the BLS construct have been analyzed, highlighting both the importance of these practices and the differences in how they act on the BLS depending on the aspects of the same that are considered (Peiró, 2014 d, Ayala, et al., 2014 a, Ayala et al., 2014 b).

Differential analysis for the three age groups (under 35 years old, between 35 and 50 years old, over 50 years old)

The first analyzes have been carried out with the cross-sectional data. Some of these results have already been presented at conferences, finding differences in the relationship between job characteristics and job well-being as a function of age (Kozusznik et al., 2014). At the European Congress of Psychology, in Milan 2015, an invited symposium has been organized in which the main results related to the modulating role of age in the relationships between human resource practices and work well-being will be presented (Peiró, et al. . al., 2015), and in the relationships between organizational justice and well-being (Latorre, 2015).

Results for the society

One of the main goals of work and organizational psychology is to promote both the well-being and performance of employees. However, the yoke of the current economic crisis tyrannizes this goal, mercilessly threatening the sustainability of well-being and performance achieved in previous decades. A decrease in one of these factors can affect the other, leading to a vicious cycle. In this context, one of the greatest challenges for organizational psychologists is to turn this trend into a virtuous circle, in which promoting high levels of well-being at work implies an improvement in performance and vice-versa, what in this work we call “ synergy of well-being-sustainable production ”.

Therefore, one of the fundamental goals of this research is that the results are shared both with professionals and with society in general.
To this end, the results obtained are being presented at different conferences and scientific and professional meetings (see section on research publications (Link to that section)). Likewise, it is worth highlighting among the actions aimed at this objective, the coordination of a monographic issue of the journal Papeles del Psicólogo on the psychology of work in times of crisis (Ramos and Peiró, 2014). This magazine, of which more than 50,000 copies are published, is distributed to all members of the Colleges that are part of the General Council of Psychology of Spain.
