Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between health and a sustainable lifestyle, particularly focusing on the balance between work and well-being, is garnering significant attention in an effort to achieve both. This Special Issue aims to make a substantial contribution not only to individual health and happiness but also to corporate success and societal sustainability.
- Improvement of Health: How can balancing work and well-being enhance both the physical and mental health of employees, reduce work-related stress, and enhance overall happiness?
- Increase in Productivity: In what ways do healthy and satisfied employees become more productive and creative? How can companies that prioritize well-being boost employee motivation and engagement?
- Promotion of Sustainable Lifestyles: How does balancing work and well-being enable employees to adopt sustainable habits and promote behavioral change leading to prosocial activities?
- Improvement of Organizational Culture: How does a corporate culture that values well-being enhances employee satisfaction and loyalty, and reduce turnover rates?
- Fulfillment of Social Responsibility: Why is prioritizing employee well-being an important aspect of corporate social responsibility, and how does it enhance the company’s brand image?
In this Special Issue, we also aim to address challenges related to sustainability through socio-economic, scientific, and integrated approaches to sustainable development. Our objectives include defining and quantifying sustainability, measuring and monitoring sustainability, and exploring sustainability tools, applications, policies, and laws.
