“…The psychology of sustainability and SD [57] looks at sustainability not only in terms of the ecological and socio-economic environment, but also in terms of improving everyone's QoL, as mentioned in [58]. In this line of thought, the same authors highlighted that it is essential to analyse the quality of working life (QWL), as professional activity plays a fundamental role in determining employees' physical and mental health and well-being.…”

This paper analyses the relationship between the intellectual capital of higher education institutions (HEIs) and their sustainable development practices, and assesses whether higher education institutions’ sustainable development practices are related to their stakeholders’ quality of life. Using a structural equation model, two model specifications are estimated, gathering primary data from a convenience sample composed of 738 full-time students and 587 teachers/researchers at seven Portuguese higher education institutions. The findings reveal that intellectual capital influences sustainable development practices directly and positively, whereas sustainable development practices influence students’ quality of life in a significant way, although the same is not verified for teachers/researchers. These findings provide insightful implications for policy-making and intellectual capital management for practices in higher education institutions; firstly, by showing that the sustainable development concept is associated with HEIs’ practices of economic, environmental, social and organisational sustainability; secondly, by concluding that public Portuguese HEIs need to improve the social dimension of their sustainable development practices, and here there may be room for improvement in the institution through better and more proficient social engagement that is more directed to the challenges of sustainability and social change; and thirdly, by showing that the inclusion of better sustainable practices has repercussions on the quality of life of all stakeholders.

“…It is the basis for the development of the sixth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) which, according to Grimshaw et al (2017) , yields solid and reliable information. In 2000, the EU launched the European Employment Strategy with the aim of creating more (quantity) and better (quality) jobs ( Ariza-Montes et al, 2019 ). EWCS asks workers about the intrinsic characteristics of their jobs: salary, hours, participation, organization, and security, among others.…”

“…The SWB of rural residents has become an international research hotspot in related fields [4]. Scholars have examined the effects of various factors (e.g., government expenditure, work condition, agricultural technology adoption, entrepreneurship, income, expectation) on the SWB of rural residents in developing countries [5][6][7][8][9][10], in order to find more effective ways to improve it.…”

Village collectives are important providers of rural public goods in developing countries with dual urban-rural structures. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the public goods provided by village collectives and the subjective well-being (SWB) of rural residents. This study aims to fill that gap. Based on the 2014 round of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) survey data, this study estimates an ordered logit model of a SWB function to examine the role of the public goods provided by village collectives. The results indicate that village collectives' provision of public goods has a significantly positive effect on the SWB of rural residents by promoting the dual growth of household income and consumption. Village collectives' public expenditures on production, education, and public services also positively affect the SWB of rural residents. The public goods provided by village collectives have a significantly positive effect on the SWB of young and middle-aged rural residents but not on the SWB of elderly rural residents. Finally, rural residents with low levels of education and health obtain more SWB effects than do residents with high levels.
