The Relationship

There is widespread consensus that income and subjective well-being are linked, but when and why they are connected is subject to ongoing debate. We draw on prior research that distinguishes between the frequency and intensity of happiness to suggest that higher income is more consistently linked to how frequently individuals experience happiness than how intensely happy each episode is. This occurs in part because lower-income individuals spend more time engaged in passive leisure activities, reducing the frequency but not the intensity of positive affect. Notably, we demonstrate that only happiness frequency underlies the relationship between income and life satisfaction. Data from an experience sampling study (N = 394 participants, 34,958 daily responses), a pre-registered cross-sectional study (N = 1,553), and a day reconstruction study (N = 13,437) provide empirical evidence for these ideas. Together, this research provides conceptual and empirical clarity into how income is related to happiness.

Abstract Background. Mental well-being is an essential concept in research and public health as it is recognised as an indicator of population mental health and quality of life. Previous studies have provided evidence that general self-efficacy is positively related to mental well-being. The aim of this study is to examine whether higher help-seeking self-efficacy and higher psychological well-being self-efficacy respectively, are associated with increased mental well-being.Methods. In this cross-sectional study 1795 adults from the general English population were recruited from a market research panel to fill out an online questionnaire between 24th September 2018 and 05th October 2018. Two simple linear regression analyses were used to investigate the relationship between each of help-seeking self-efficacy and psychological well-being self- efficacy as exposure variables and mental well-being as the outcome. Multiple imputation by chained equations was used to handle missing data.Results. No evidence was found for an association between either help-seeking self-efficacy or psychological well-being self-efficacy and mental well-being.Conclusions. These findings do not provide evidence that improving help-seeking or psychological well-being self-efficacy could lead to improving well-being. Methodological limitations, such as unmeasured confounders might be responsible for the lack of evidence in this study. Having a mental health condition is a potential negative confounder that might not have been measured adequately.

Abstract Background: Nurse play a primary care role, although existing research about improving nurse well-being mainly focus on the workplace environment, there is controversy regarding the underlying factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between organizational and patient behaviors with nurse well-being.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was carried out in 77 hospitals in China between July 2014 and April 2015.Results: Of the 4885 respondents, 58.78% nurses reported being satisfied with their life; however, only 36.14% nurses were satisfied with their work, and 79.85% nurses reported they would not choose nursing again if given the opportunity. Within the organizational behaviors, nurses reporting very poor pay justice tended to report a higher turnover intention (OR = 2.03, 95% CI:1.29-3.21) and lower life happiness (OR = 0.67, 95% CI:0.45-0.98). Similarly, very poor attention to staff interests (OR = 1.79, 95% CI:1.15–2.77) and opinions (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.55–3.73) were strongly associated with higher turnover intention. Within the patient behaviors, a low level of patient trust was more strongly and negatively associated with job satisfaction (OR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.32–0.61) and life happiness (OR = 0.53, 95% CI: 0.37–0.75) compared with unreasonable demands by patients, and more positively associated with turnover intention (OR = 5.61, 95% CI: 3.66–8.60).Conclusion: Given the widespread distress among nurses, these findings suggest that interventions targeting improved nurse well-being should be expanded from individual nurses to hospital organization and patients, reflected the internal and external hospital environment, respectively.

The Relationship

While overt forms of sexism in organisations are on the decline, covert ones are becoming the norm. This article argues that illegitimate tasks are a disguised form of gender-based discrimination and harassment. To support this argument, evidence is provided about the effects of sexism on occupational well-being that are caused by undertaking illegitimate tasks. The authors focus on the relationship between sexist organisational climate and illegitimate tasks and the resulting effects on job satisfaction and irritation. The empirical data used in the analyses were obtained from a cross-sectional study of a sample of German psychologists. After controlling for the effects of gender, the results provided evidence of the negative effects that a sexist organisational climate has on irritation and job satisfaction, mediated by illegitimate tasks.
