"In psychology, the good life is often conceptualized across three dimensions: the happy life, the meaningful life, and the psychologically rich life. A happy life brims with hedonic well-being, hallmarks of positive emotions and satisfaction. A meaningful life fosters eudaimonic well-being, a sense of meaning and purpose. A psychologically rich life is one filled with novelty, curiosity, and perspective-changing experiences."
"Job satisfaction This dimension includes both cognitive and affective components. It refers to the extent to which individuals experience positive emotional states (for example, pleasure and joy) from their work, as well as how satisfying they appraise their work to be. Job satisfaction can be measured using questionnaire items such as: I feel fairly well satisfied with my work. Most days, I am enthusiastic about my work. I find real enjoyment in my work."
Occupational well-being comprises three dimensions: job satisfaction, work meaningfulness, and psychological richness. Job satisfaction includes cognitive and affective components, reflecting positive emotions, pleasure, joy, enthusiasm, and appraisals of work. Work meaningfulness captures perceived importance, purpose, and contribution to others' well-being. Psychological richness reflects novelty, curiosity, and perspective-changing experiences in work. Survey of 678 German employees aged 18–67 across industries indicated that satisfaction, meaningfulness, and psychological richness each contribute to overall quality of work life. Measurement items assess statements about satisfaction, enjoyment, enthusiasm, and perceptions of importance and meaningful contribution.
