Mediating Effects of Work Eudemonic Well-being for the Association Between Psychosocial Work Environment and Overall Eudemonic Well-being Among Japanese Workers A Cross-sectional Study

摘要

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of eudemonic well-being (EWB) at work for the associations between psychosocial work environment and overall EWB among Japanese workers. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from a 2018 survey. psychosocial work environment measures included: job demands, job control, and supervisor and coworker support. Path analysis using structural equation modeling and mediation analysis were applied to examine the mediating effects of work EWB. Results: A total of 834 workers were analyzed. Work EWB completely mediated the associations of job control (beta = 0.288, P < 0.001) and coworker support with overall EWB (beta = 0.178, P < 0.001). Conclusions: The effects of job control and coworker support associated with overall EWB were fully mediated by work EWB.
