Abstract
MARTINEZ, Said Fernando Ali et al. Work Design, Well-being, and Mental Health: Literature Review. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.1, pp.1-22. Epub July 17, 2022. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.39.1.158.7.
This text contributes to the knowledge about the relationship between work design, well-being and mental health. We review the most recent publications concerning the variables studied to offer a synthesis of the main concepts, theoretical models and the empirical evidence that explain the relationship. We searched four databases: Web of Science, Springer, Ebsco and Pro-Quest, in which we identified N = 11,878 articles on Work design (N = 4,332), Job design (N = 4,854) and Job Demands-Resources (N = 2,692). We highlight the models of job characteristics and job-demand resources, to promote the well-being and mental health of workers. We discuss the importance of integrating the variables at a practical level, about the individual, group and organizational units of analysis; as well as the need to take into account the variety of occupations, positions and how their employees interact.
Keywords : Work Design Characteristics; Mental health; Well-Being; Review.
