“…We propose this for two reasons. The first is related to evidence showing that information and communication technology (ICT) has a positive effect on well-being by acting as a new platform to develop and maintain social relationships (Kavetsos and Koutroumpis 2011;Pénard et al 2013;Ganju et al 2016;Bargh and McKenna 2004). The second reason relies on the importance of internet and ICT communication to maintain family ties and well-being in countries with high emigration rates (Nedelcu 2012;Dekker and Engbersen 2014;Bacigalupe and Cámara 2012;Benítez 2012).…”

In this study, we identify some individual and contextual factors potentially affecting subjective well-being in developing countries and check their effect in the Ecuadorian case. Ecuador is an oil country where attempts have been made to overcome deep social and territorial inequalities by placing human well-being at the core of public policy through the National Plan for Good Living. By means of ordinary least squares and ordered logit with clustered standard errors, as well as multilevel ordered logit models, we find that oil-dependent territories negatively affect well-being. Moreover, women and indigenous people report lower well-being, while personal income, education, housing quality, institutional trust, health insurance and social relationships can improve it. From a policy perspective, we find that basic unmet needs still need to be fulfilled to increase well-being, and further improvements of the institutional framework, redistributive system and inclusion policies are required. In this respect, we observe that Good Living-based policy accurately addresses these elements and, therefore, has great potential for application in other countries with similar characteristics.

Research on IS and wellbeing investigate the effect of technology on all levels of well-being including personal well-being [6], employee well-being [33], and nation well-being [20]. IT research has also considered the impact of technology use on quality of life [20,28].…”
