Abstract

Psychological wellness is a topic that has become popular around the world in recent years as work-life balance has increased and companies have been able to see the positive results of having a balance, companies like Google, even Facebook. However, there is a large gap in research for other industries. To date, there has been little research focused on the hospitality sector in Dublin, despite it being a country with a high market demand. The hospitality industry is known for long working hours, uncompetitive salaries, stress, etc. The purpose of this study is to explore how the effects of psychological well-being are related to job satisfaction and whether their relationship generates work-life balance, as well as what are the results such as feeling good, being more efficient, and life improvement.

This study used a quantitative research approach to collect data from 62 participants employed in various roles within the hospitality industry in Dublin. Surveys measuring psychological well-being and job satisfaction were administered to assess participants' perceptions of their psychological well-being, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. The surveys used validated scales to ensure the reliability and validity of the data collected. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were conducted to examine the relationships between psychological well-being, job satisfaction, and work-life balance.

The study findings revealed a significant positive correlation between psychological well-being and job satisfaction among participants in the Dublin hospitality industry. Employees with higher levels of psychological well-being reported higher job satisfaction and exhibited positive work behaviours. In addition, the study found that psychological well-being was associated with better work-life balance, indicating that employees with higher psychological well-being experienced higher work-life balance
