摘要

Eudaimonic resources (such as autonomy, purpose, social connectedness, and sense of personal growth) can enhance job quality and performance. Accordingly, perceived job quality may serve as a pathway through which eudaimonic well-being contributes to subjective well-being. This study tested a multilevel mediation model using data from the 2020 Gallup World Poll across 116 countries, examining whether perceived job quality mediates the relationship between eudaimonic well-being and subjective well-being. Two dimensions of subjective well-being were measured: life satisfaction and affective well-being. Bayesian multilevel mediation analyses revealed that, at the individual level, higher eudaimonic well-being was associated with greater perceived job quality, which, in turn, was linked to both higher life satisfaction and affective well-being. Therefore, the mediation hypothesis was supported for both aspects of subjective well-being at the individual level. At the country level, however, mediation was supported for affective well-being but not for life satisfaction. Overall, these results highlight the relevance of eudaimonic skills and resources in fostering optimal work experiences and emphasize the role of job quality as a mediating mechanism connecting eudaimonic resources to subjective well-being.
