Summary
In this chapter, we outline the main and emerging issues in the measurement of workplace well-being, considering positive and negative markers of well-being. The chapter has four main sections. First, we present a brief history of major developments in the measurement of well-being, providing an overview of prominent concepts in the field and contextualising the other sections. Second, we outline recent developments in how to establish monetised benefits from changes in well-being, which can inform policy makers and organizational decision makers on cost-effective interventions to improve well-being. Third, because one of the core elements of well-being, affective experience, is highly volatile, we consider issues in assessing the dynamics of well-being. Finally, we examine variability between people in well-being and why between-person variability might matter.
