“…Our results are consistent with the existing research that found a positive effect of certain human values on the attitudes and behaviors of employees. For example, human values determine employee attitudes and behaviors [55,67,68]. Regarding the main object of this research, we found that workers with collectivist values (benevolence and universalism) and who are focused on openness to change (stimulation and selfdirection) are more likely to develop green attitudes, which in turn can lead to greater well-being.…”

This research aims to explore the intricate nature of the association between green attitudes and well-being in the workplace. Based on the basic human value theory, this study attempted to unearth the moderating effects of its two main bipolar segments, namely self-transcendence-self-enhancement and openness to change-conservation. A quantitative approach with a sample of 1,532 hospitality employees from 35 European countries was used. We found that a green attitude contributes to deriving employee well-being. Further, we found empirical support for the influence of human values, in the sense that this relationship is reinforced among the workers who are more altruistic and receptive to changes. Moreover, this research suggests strategies oriented to reduce environmental degradation and achieve sustainable development in the hospitality sector. This article provides ideas to cope with the challenges posed by COVID-19, particularly in the hospitality industry seriously damaged by the pandemic where the future of many jobs is in jeopardy.

“…This means that we considered only p-values of < .003 as statistically significant. This is a standard procedure for studies that involve many variables to ensure reliable results, e.g., [42]. Note that changing the «-threshold impacts the test statistic (e.g., t -value), as the test statistic and p-value are perfectly associated with any given sample size [43].…”

Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, software engineers' daily life was disrupted and abruptly forced into remote working from home. This change deeply impacted typical working routines, affecting both well-being and productivity. Moreover, this pandemic will have long-lasting effects in the software industry, with several tech companies allowing their employees to work from home indefinitely if they wish to do so. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze and understand how a typical working day looks like when working from home and how individual activities affect software developers' well-being and productivity. We performed a two-wave longitudinal study involving almost 200 globally carefully selected software professionals, inferring daily activities with perceived well-being, productivity, and other relevant psychological and social variables. Results suggest that the time software engineers spent doing specific activities from home was similar when working in the office. However, we also found some significant mean differences. The amount of time developers spent on each activity was unrelated to their well-being, perceived productivity, and other variables. We conclude that working remotely is not per se a challenge for organizations or developers. I .

“…On the one hand, cultural contexts seem to moderate individual-level associations between personal values and psychological outcome variables (Heim et al, 2019 ; Sortheix & Lönnqvist, 2013 ; Sortheix & Schwartz, 2017 ). Previous studies have found that value-environment fit has positive implications for individual mental health and well-being (Hanel et al, 2020 ). Researchers have identified four potential pathways through which contexts influence the link between personal values and well-being: social sanctions, environmental affordances, internal conflict, and shared realities (Edwards & Cable, 2009 ; Fulmer et al, 2010 ; Sagiv & Schwartz, 2000 ).…”

Latent profile analysis of personal values among Chinese college students: associations with mental health disorders and life satisfaction

et al. 2022

Interindividual differences in personal values are prevalent both within and across societies. Interindividual differences in personal value and the relationships with mental health disorders and life satisfaction remain to be holistically considered, especially in China. The present study aims to characterize personal value profiles based on Schwartz’s theory model and to examine differences in several mental health-related disorders and life satisfaction potentially across these profiles. Using convenience sampling, a sample of 8,540 Chinese college students (M age = 18.89, SD age = 2.02, 57.7% male) from three universities completed a questionnaire assessing personal values, internalizing problems, externalizing problems, substance disorders, crime/violence, and life satisfaction. The latent profile analysis identified five personal value profiles, which were labelled as traditional social orientation, open personal orientation, open social orientation, moderate traditional social orientation, and average. Chinese college students in the three social orientation profiles reported low mental health disorders and high life satisfaction. In contrast, students in the personal orientation profile reported high mental health disorders and low life satisfaction. The results indicate the heterogeneity of Chinese college students’ personal values and the positive relationship of social-oriented values with mental health and life satisfaction in collectivist cultures.
