Title: Nurturing psychological well-being through an online positive psychological intervention: a PERMA model approach
Abstract:
This study examines the effects of an online positive psychological intervention (OPPI) on psychological well-being, stress, and burnout levels in an international sample, using a randomised controlled trial design while controlling for initial resilience levels. After a six-week intervention based on the PERMA model (Seligman, 2011), participants showed increased psychological well-being and reduced burnout levels compared to the control group. No significant effects were found for stress and the exhaustion dimension of burnout. The intervention's impact remained significant three months after completion of the program for two dimensions of burnout (i.e., cognitive and emotional impairment) and several aspects of psychological well-being (i.e., positive emotions, meaning, accomplishment, and happiness). Resilience emerged as a significant covariate for the relationship, meaning, and accomplishment dimensions. These findings inform practical applications of online PERMA-based interventions across workplaces, education, public health, and therapeutic settings, effectively emphasising structured support to enhance adherence, reduce burnout, and improve overall well-being.

Title: Organisational culture and positive psychological interventions: understanding the concept of positive organisational culture using a systematic review
Abstract:
This study provides a systematic review of empirical research on organisational culture and positive psychological interventions in workplace from January 2000 to March 2024. A comprehensive search was conducted using four databases: PsycArticles, PsycInfo, ProQuest, and Business Sources Premier. The key topics were Organisational Culture, Positive Psychology, and Interventions. After screenings, 39 papers were selected for systematic content analysis. This study explores the relationship between managing organisational culture through positive psychological interventions and employee well-being. The findings suggest that organisations implementing Positive Psychological Interventions focus on enhancing their organisational culture, aiming for a more positive environment by improving psychological and social work conditions. These improvements lead to better task performance across sectors, including healthcare, industry, public service, education, and non-profits. Additionally, the review highlights the limited research on positive psychological interventions aimed at shaping organisational culture. It calls for further investigation into how these interventions influence employee wellbeing in workplace.

Title: Happiness in the city of joy: ordered logit analysis of life satisfaction of the residents of Kolkata
Abstract:
This study explores the determinants of happiness among Kolkata residents through a micro-econometric framework. Using primary data from 312 households across six locations categorised by pollution levels, the study explores the impact of socio-economic, demographic, and environmental factors on self-reported life satisfaction. Employing an ordered logit regression model, the study reveals significant positive effects of health, income, education, freedom, and marital status on happiness, while air pollution negatively impacts life satisfaction. The study also investigates the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on well-being. Households affected by COVID-19 reported lower life satisfaction due to overwhelmed healthcare systems, financial distress, and mental health challenges. Furthermore, the fear of recurring lockdowns compounded these effects, reflecting the psychological and socio-economic toll of the pandemic. The study highlights the complex interplay of material and non-material factors in shaping well-being, providing valuable insights for regional development and policy-making.

Title: The role of organisational support and justice in predicting teachers' well-being: a study in Turkish public schools
Abstract:
This study was conducted to explore the role of perceived organisational support and organisational justice in predicting teachers' well-being in Turkish public schools. Our research study was conducted in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye using a simple random sampling method. A total of 519 teachers from various schools participated voluntarily in the study. To explore the role of perceived organisational support and organisational justice in predicting teachers' well-being, multiple linear regression analysis was utilised. To test the goodness of fit indices and factor structure of the scales, confirmatory factor analysis and explanatory factor analysis were performed. The findings of this research demonstrate that both perceived organisational support and organisational justice are positive and significant predictors of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being scores of teachers.
