Development and implementation of a multifaceted well-being intervention

Аннотация

We evaluate existing well-being interventions and incorporate the most empirically robust aspects of each to inform the development of a new, integrated intervention that addresses both hedonic and multidimensional eudaimonic well-being. This aligns with the tenets of positive organizational behavior, which promotes a focus on flourishing and development, and with self-determination theory (see Ryan and Deci, 2001), which suggests that the truest measure of well-being is one that captures an individual’s needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness, as does EWB. With recent research (McMahan and Estes, 2011) emphasizing the extent to which EWB has been neglected in existing well-being interventions, the importance of incorporating it – particularly as assessed multidimensionally – is clear.
