Abstract
The purpose of this documentary research is to review the elements that affect psychological well-being in the workplace, using document analysis and content analysis methods. Data sources and search strategies were used to study relevant research on the topic of psychological well-being and strengthening the psychological well-being in the workplace from electronic databases published between 1992 and 2022, using search keywords: “psychological well-being”, “promoting psychological wellbeing in the
workplace”, “psychological well-being”, “strengthening psychological wellbeing in the workplace”. An ancestry approach was also used.
This research explored the reference lists of previously listed studies on mental well-being and improving mental well-being in the workplace by selecting works according to the specified criteria; namely quantitative and qualitative research studies of psychological well-being and strengthening the psychological well-being in the workplace. "Mental well-being” and “psychological well-being” in each of these studies are considered to be within the same scope, the literature review included 6 volumes of Thai literature and 103 volumes of foreign literature.
The review of literature indicates that there are 6 dimensions affecting the psychological well-being of employees in the workplace. These consist of: (1) self-acceptance, (2) personal growth, (3) purpose in life, (4) environmental mastery, (5) autonomy, and (6) positive relations with others. In short, psychological well-being is a crucial element that affects human everyday life, from studying and working to achieving various life goals. By studying and understanding the elements that promote psychological well-being in the workplace, we can lead to the development of potential in both work and quality of life. The results of this research can be used to develop a research conceptual framework and further research to strengthen the psychological well-being in the workplace.
