Abstract

Well-being is becoming an important consideration in developing sustainable competitive edge for better worker performance and fulfilment. While the previous studies on well-being have mainly explored workers in different industries, factors impacting on psychological well-being of health care workers have yet to be fully determined. This study aims to explore the trendsetting within the context of psychological well-being. Owing to the nature of public and private health care providers, health care workers working in different settings are expected to demonstrate different factors relating to well-being. This scoping review aims to determine what is known about the psychological well-being of health care workers, specifically to answer the questions: What factors impacting on psychological well-being have been reported among health care workers? The purpose of this review was to classify existing literatures on the specific topic and proposed integrated view of work-related and psychosocial related factors impacting on psychological well-being of health care workers.
