Abstract

This study examines the relationship between subjective well-being in the workplace and organizational productivity through a systematic review of relevant scientific articles. A systematic review was conducted on 310 articles, employing inclusion and exclusion criteria to narrow it down to 36 pertinent articles. The review identified several factors affecting both subjective well-being and productivity, such as the company’s willingness to implement programs to improve well-being prioritizing friendly working conditions, fair compensation, flexible schedules, a respectful work environment, promotion of professional development, and emotional and economic incentives.
