Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

377
Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction.

  • Validated questionnaires (Biligard for socialization, Goldesmit model for productivity) were used.
  • A sample size of 250 participants was determined using a standard formula.

Findings:

  • A significant, positive correlation was observed between employee socialization and productivity.
  • Demographic factors such as age, sex, organizational position, employment history, and type of employment generally did not influence this relationship.
  • An exception was noted at Sadi hospital, where these factors did show some influence.

Implications:

  • Enhancing employee socialization can be a key strategy to improve hospital productivity and goal achievement.
