Abstract
MEDRANO, Leonardo A. and TROGOLO, Mario A.. Employee well-being and life satisfaction in Argentina: the contribution of psychological detachment from work. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.69-81. Epub June 14, 2021. ISSN 2174-0534. https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2018a9.
Previous research has demonstrated the impact of various life domains on employee well-being. However, these domains have been commonly examined separately. In addition, most existing studies on this topic stem from North America and Western European countries, particularly Spain and Netherlands. Comparatively, little research has been conducted in Latin American countries. The aim of this research was to develop and test a model of employee well-being in Argentina. One thousand and sixty employees from a national representative sample completed measures of leisure, psychological detachment from work, job resources, work-family conflict, work-related well-being (engagement and burnout), and subjective well-being (life satisfaction). Results from structural equation modeling indicated that the model fit the data well. We discuss practical implications of the findings for employee well-being and suggest future research building upon study limitations that may contribute to a more refined understanding of the results outlined in this study.
