mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">This book provides a comprehensive examination of well-being in educational contexts, focusing on the promotion of well-being across diverse educational settings.

This book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary examination of socioemotional well-being in contemporary organizations, addressing its conceptual foundations, practical implications, and strategic relevance. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory and the Job Demands–Resources model, the book situates well-being as both a multidimensional construct and an organizational capability essential for sustainable performance.Structured in five thematic parts, the chapters explore systemic determinants, cultural and normative drivers, career development, leadership challenges, and the dual impact of technological transformation and ESG imperatives. Contributions combine theoretical reflection with empirical research, case studies, and systematic reviews, providing insights into hybrid work environments, sustainable HRM, occupational stress, inclusivity, and digital well-being.By integrating perspectives from management, economics, and human resource studies, the book demonstrates how socioemotional well-being intersects with organizational culture, leadership, and strategic priorities. It emphasizes that fostering psychological safety, autonomy, competence, and relatedness is not a peripheral concern but a systemic challenge requiring alignment with organizational values and governance.Socioemotional Well-Being Management in the Workplace will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers seeking evidence-based approaches to well-being management. It offers conceptual clarity, methodological rigor, and practical guidance for creating workplaces that support resilience, engagement, and human flourishing in an era of technological disruption and sustainability demands.

Well-being has become a central concern in contemporary societies, particularly in the face of rapid social change, growing inequalities, and increasing mental health challenges across the lifespan. This book offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and internationally grounded exploration of well-being, positioning it as a dynamic, relational, and context-dependent construct that evolves from early life to older adulthood.Bringing together scholars from psychology, education, health, and the social sciences, the volume is structured into five thematic parts that reflect the complexity of human development and the diverse contexts in which well-being is shaped. The first part establishes a strong theoretical foundation, integrating perspectives from Positive Psychology, neurobiology and personality research, while also addressing key issues in the assessment of well-being, including the PERMA Profiler.The second part focuses on well-being in childhood and adolescence, emphasizing comprehensive and preventive approaches that highlight the role of early relationships, health care, sport, and interprofessional strategies in promoting healthy development. The third part then examines adolescence and emerging adulthood as critical periods for positive development.The fourth part explores well-being in adulthood through a diversity of specific contexts, including eco-anxiety, labor participation, transitions from education to work, physical activity, chronic illness, artistic engagement, and pregnancy and childbirth. The final part focuses on positive aging, offering integrative perspectives on flourishing, caregiving, dependency, and mental health in later life.A distinctive strength of this volume lies in its integrative lifespan perspective, its strong empirical grounding, and its explicit attention to sociocultural and contextual diversity, particularly from Latin American and international perspectives. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students seeking evidence-based frameworks and applied insights to understand, assess, and promote well-being across diverse populations and life stages.
