Influencing subjective well-being for business and sustainable development using big data and predictive regression analysis

Abstract

Business leaders and policymakers within service economies are placing greater emphasis on well-being, given the role of workers in such settings. Whilst people’s well-being can lead to economic growth, it can also have the opposite effect if overlooked. Therefore, enhancing subjective well-being (SWB) is pertinent for all organisations for the sustainable development of an economy. While health conditions were previously deemed the most reliable predictors, the availability of data on people’s personal lifestyles now offers a new dimension into well-being for organisations. Using open data available from the national Annual Population Survey in the UK, which measures SWB, this research uncovered that among several independent variables to predict varying levels of people's perceived well-being, long-term health conditions, one's marital status, and age played a key role in SWB. The proposed model provides the key indicators of measuring SWB for organisations using big data.

“…The research methodology undertaken follows the guidelines on inductive exploration of social media big data for management decision making based on big data research methodology (Kar and Dwivedi, 2020). Big data analytics have been also used to explore sustainable development in recent literature (Sivarajah et al , 2020; Weerakkody et al , 2020). The current study attempts to extend this focus to the recent literature on SDGs.…”
