The relationship between performance and well-being at work: a systematic review of 20 years and future perspectives in Brazil / A relação entre desempenho e bem-estar no trabalho: uma revisão sistemática de 20 anos e perspectivas futuras / La relación entre desempeño y bienestar en el trabajo: una revisión sistemática de 20 años y perspectivas futuras

The pursuit of high levels of performance and well-being at work is a shared goal in societies nowadays. The happy-productive worker thesis (HPWT) proposes a positive relationship, where "happy" workers will perform better than "unhappy" workers. However, other relationships found in the literature have encouraged a revision of this thesis. This systematic review aims to understand better how the relationship between performance and well-being has been analyzed in Brazil during the last 20 years. Results obtained with the review of 26 studies, revealed that most of them reported a synergic or positive and unidirectional relationship consistent with the HPWT. However, we also found support for null and antagonist relationships and differences in the types of operationalizations studied. We discuss that this area of study should adopt a broader perspective to understand the complexity of the relationships between both constructs, and we propose future research directions.

A busca de altos níveis de desempenho e bem-estar no trabalho é um objetivo comum nas sociedades atuais. A tese do trabalhador feliz-produtivo (HPWT) propõe uma relação positiva, onde trabalhadores "felizes" terão um desempenho melhor do que trabalhadores "infelizes". No entanto, outras relações encontradas na literatura têm incentivado a revisão desta tese. Esta revisão sistemática visa entender melhor como a relação entre desempenho e bem-estar tem sido analisada no Brasil durante os últimos 20 anos. Os resultados obtidos com a revisão de 26 estudos, revelaram que a maioria deles relatou uma relação sinérgica, positiva e unidirecional consistente com o HPWT. Entretanto, também encontramos apoio para relações nulas e antagônicas e diferenças nos tipos de operacionalizações estudadas. Discutimos que esta área de estudo deveria adotar uma perspectiva mais ampla para entender a complexidade das relações entre os dois constructos, e propomos direções de pesquisa futuras.

We Are Very Similar but Not Really: The Moderating Role of Cultural Identification for Refugee Resettlement of Venezuelans in Colombia.

This study aims to test the theoretical model of career adaptability of refugees to investigate the dynamics of successful resettlement. The theoretical model is grounded on career construction and social network theory. We employ quantitative and qualitative methodologies to test the model in a sample of Venezuelans living and working in Colombia. The quantitative results provide partial support for Campion's model. However, we test an alternative model and find that career adaptability has a direct relationship with subjective resettlement (i.e., life satisfaction and psychological health). In addition, cultural identification plays a buffering role on the harmful effects of discrimination on subjective resettlement. Qualitative results from eight in-depth interviews shed light on the process of refugee resettlement, thus revealing the role of social networks. Our study contributes to previous research on refugees by testing, adapting, and expanding a novel model of work resettlement and focusing on a group of refugees transitioning from one emerging country to another emerging country.

Four Wellbeing Patterns and their Antecedents in Millennials at Work.

Literature suggests that job satisfaction and health are related to each other in a synergic way. However, this might not always be the case, and they may present misaligned relationships. Considering job satisfaction and mental health as indicators of wellbeing at work, we aim to identify four patterns (i.e., satisfied-healthy, unsatisfied-unhealthy, satisfied-unhealthy, and unsatisfied-healthy) and some of their antecedents. In a sample of 783 young Spanish employees, a two-step cluster analysis procedure showed that the unsatisfied-unhealthy pattern was the most frequent (33%), followed by unsatisfied-healthy (26.6%), satisfied-unhealthy (24.8%) and, finally, the satisfied-healthy pattern (14.3%). Moreover, as hypothesized, discriminant analysis suggests that higher levels of job importance and lower levels of role ambiguity mainly differentiate the satisfied-healthy pattern, whereas overqualification and role overload differentiate, respectively, the unsatisfied-healthy and satisfied-unhealthy patterns. Contrary to our expectations, role conflict also characterizes the satisfied-unhealthy pattern. We discuss the practical and theoretical implications of these findings.

Bienestar sostenible en el trabajo: Revisión y reformulación / Sustainable well-being at work: A review and reformulation

Uno de los principales objetivos de la psicología del trabajo y de las organizaciones es promover tanto el bienestar como el rendimiento de los empleados. Sin embargo, el yugo de la crisis económica actual tiraniza este objetivo, amenazando sin piedad la sostenibilidad del bienestar y del rendimiento alcanzado en décadas anteriores. El decremento en uno de esos factores puede afectar el otro, dando lugar a un círculo vicioso. En este contexto, uno de los mayores retos para los psicólogos organizacionales es convertir esta tendencia en un círculo virtuoso, en el que promover altos niveles de bienestar en el trabajo suponga una mejora del rendimiento y viceversa, lo que en este trabajo denominamos "sinergia del bienestar-productivo sostenible". Sin embargo, estudios anteriores no han obtenido resultados concluyentes al respecto. La falta de rigor y de consideración de las conceptualizaciones más contemporáneas del bienestar y el rendimiento laboral, como praxis común, son parte de la causa de esos resultados. El objetivo del presente trabajo es proporcionar una revisión de los estudios previos, que permita sustentar una nueva reformulación del concepto de bienestar y de productividad. También se plantea integrar los conceptos más contemporáneos, revisando la "tesis del trabajador feliz y productivo" y utilizando como marco de referencia la teoría de emociones positivas de la "ampliación y construcción" de Fredrickson. Finalmente, se discute la adecuación y la sostenibilidad de modelos alternativos sobre el "trabajador infeliz y productivo" y el "trabajador feliz e improductivo"

One of the important goals of work and organizational psychology is to promote well-being and performance of employees. Nevertheless, the yoke of the current economic crisis tyrannize this aim, threating merciless the sustainability of the well-being and performance achieved in previous decades. The decrease in one of those factors may hamper the other, resulting in a vicious circle. In this context one of the biggest challenges to face by organizational psychologists is to reverse this trend in a virtuous cycle, where promoting high levels of well-being, suppose a performance improvement and vice-versa, in a "sustainable productivity and well-being synergy". However, previous efforts have shown inconclusive results. We argue that the lack of rigorousness and neglectfulness of the most contemporaneous conceptualizations of well-being and job performance, as common praxis, is part of the reason for those disappointing results. The aim of the present paper is to provide a review of the contributions and efforts to the new reformulation of the concept of well-being and productivity. It also aims to integrate the most contemporaneous well-being and job performance's concepts, revisiting the "happy productive-worker" thesis, using as framework the Fredrickson's broaden-build theory of positive emotions, where the suitability and sustainability of the "alternative models of "unhappy-productive worker" and "happy-unproductive worker" will be discussed
