Well-being at Work: Research Into Happiness at Work

Organizations are becoming increasingly aware that employees are an important factor in gaining and maintaining competitive advantage. Based on the current evidence, a holistic approach, in which different well-being factors and different levels are addressed simultaneously, is needed. However, given the scarcity of this approach in studies, a significant gap in knowledge is demonstrated. This paper tries to address these shortcomings. A partially randomised preference trials design is used to evaluate the impact of an intervention package that focusses on both the individual and organizational level and addresses 3 different domains to improve well-being: psychosocial, ergonomic and lifestyle. The data collection of the research outcomes will be conducted at several points in time. Therefore, a online self-administered questionnaire is developed en will be administered before the start of the intervention. Six and twelve months after the intervention, the short and long term impact of the intervention will be measured. The intervention itself consists of a basic intervention package that will be spread over 3 different days that take place over a time period of maximum 2 weeks. Between 20 and 30 companies will be recruited from a data pool with clients from the Flemish side of Belgium. The sample size of the participating employees should be at least 2000. A stratified random sampling method will be used based on sector type while company size (small-medium-large) will be taken into account
