“…The results on the mediating role of two SDNS (CNS and ANS) on the relationship between PEP and consumers' PWB verify self-determination theory (SDT) [12], costly signaling theory [39], and social recycling theory [36]. The results from the testing of H2, which predicted that consumers' CNS mediates the relationship between PEP and PWB, align with the findings of prior studies on PEB [33], self-determination theory [40], and well-being [25]. Consistent with results from prior research, PEBs such as green consumption might be divided into different stages like purchasing green products, consuming conservatively, and recycling behavior.…”

“…De Yong [40], for example, found that volunteering to participate in community environmental service activities can enhance consumers' perceived capacity of environmental contribution. Drawing on the logic of previous studies, the above CNS is conducive to enhancing consumers' PWB [25]. Consumers engaging in PEB may satisfy their need for competence, and then get a sense of well-being [41].…”

“…Among the constructs of relevance to SDT are needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy [23]. Drawing on Ryan and Deci [24], Olčar et al [25] indicated that competence need satisfaction (CNS) represents an individual's inborn need to feel competent and effective in interacting with the environment. Furthermore, relatedness need satisfaction (RNS) means caring for others, being cared for, and feeling emotionally connected to other people.…”

This study uses a conceptual research model to explore the mediating role of need satisfaction for competence, relatedness, and autonomy in the relationship between pro-environmental preference (PEP) and consumers’ perceived well-being (PWB). The data were collected on WJX (a Chinese online recruitment platform) from a sample of 514 respondents and analyzed using Smart PLS 3. The results indicated that two need satisfactions (competence and autonomy) fully mediate the relationship between PEP and consumers’ PWB. However, surprisingly, relatedness need satisfaction has no mediation effect in the relationship between PEP and consumers’ PWB. The results demonstrate the pivotal role of self-determination theory in explaining the primary psychological needs that must be met for consumers to perceive heightened states of well-being. Moreover, the results can signify to policymakers how to translate the impact of PEP into consumers’ PWB.

“…Career orientation seems to be irrelevant to teachers' flow proneness and well-being. A recent study by Olčar, Rijavec, and Ljubin Golub (2019) showed, through a serial mediation model, that pursuing extrinsic goals leads to lower well-being, mediated by lower autonomy and lower flow at work, while pursuing intrinsic goals leads to higher well-being, mediated through higher competence and flow at work. These empirical findings can bring some relevant practical implications for educational practice and teachers' well-being.…”

“…To do so, some preconditions have to be met such as allowing autonomy through freedom and flexibility within a teachers' work role, competence through professional development programmes and relatedness through supportive school climate. In sum, to enhance teachers' flourishing, an optimal balance between skill and challenge needs to be fostered and basic psychological needs satisfied (e.g., Olčar et al, 2019).…”

According to recent studies, teachers' well-being is a significant contributor to teacher effectiveness in terms of students' academic achievement, so it would be worth finding out what contributes to teachers' well-being. By extending previous research that revealed the positive relationship between the calling orientation and well-being and the negative between job/career orientation and well-being, the present study aimed to explore the role of flow in different life domains as mechanisms underlying this relationship, with an accent on flow at work. Correlational research design was used to examine the relationship between work orientations, flow in different life domains and flourishing of 315 classroom teachers from Croatia. The following self-report measures were used: Work-Life Questionnaire, Swedish Flow Proneness Questionnaire, and Flourishing Scale. Three parallel mediations were performed to test the hypothesized mediation role of flow in different life domains on the relationship between work orientations and flourishing. Results showed that career orientation was insignificant for teachers' flourishing. Flow at work partially mediated the positive relationship between calling orientation and flourishing, and the negative relationship between job orientation and flourishing. The study provides empirical support for the role of flow at work relationship between calling and wellbeing, suggesting that flourishing of calling oriented teachers can be enhanced by experiencing flow at work.
