Emerald Publishing Limited Supporting and Sustaining Well-Being in the Workplace: Insights from a Developing Economy
Supporting and Sustaining Well-Being in the Workplace: Insights from a Developing Economy explores how our understanding of the human experience at work can be enhanced and how this has broader implications for employee well-being. Each chapter covers unique perspectives on issues effecting personal well-being, including depression, working conditions that affect home life, mindfulness, and character building at the workplace. Steps and measures that can be used by management to adopt and develop well-being practices and actively cultivating a culture that nurtures employees are explored, as the book reflects a dual agenda for healthy working environments through jobs that are designed to promote wellbeing and positive crossover to employee’s non-work lives. Written for academics and practitioners alike, this study presents a unique perspective on this complex and developing area of workplace practice and policy. It draws on examples from an emerging economy using the conservation of resources theory as the foundation to evaluate how the use of pertinent resources creates opportunities for staff to grow and develop as individuals.

Emerald Publishing Limited A Meaningful Life at Work: The Paradox of Wellbeing
A Meaningful Life at Work addresses a range of contemporary issues that impact on an individual's experiences in the workplace, including those that may restrict opportunities for personal growth in a professional setting. Understanding an employee's values, their choices and the problems they face in the workplace may help organisations to better structure their human resource policies, compensation packages and working conditions. The authors explore employee wellbeing from a Malaysian perspective as a developing country, but they also reflect on the broader Asian and wider global context. The key themes analysed in this book include work addiction, cyber bullying, sexual harassment in the workplace and the ethics of workplace behaviour. The book contributes to the theoretical discourse around organisation studies and employee wellbeing, while also seeking to integrate academic concepts with practice. In this way, it offers practical steps towards promoting positivity and happiness in the workplace.
