Multilevel data from a daily sur...

More activated forms of well-being were proposed to be associated with poorer, rather than better, want-actual f...

While it is generally assumed that employees who feel well are also productive, research has shown this not always the case. Specifically, some seem to experience low well-being while performing, and vice versa.
