Understanding an employee's values, their choices and the problems they face in the workplace may help organisations to better structure their human resource policies, compensation packages and working conditions.The authors explore employee wellbeing from a Malaysian perspective as a developing country, but they also reflect on the broader Asian and wider global context. The key themes analysed in this book include work addiction, cyber bullying, sexual harassment in the workplace and the ethics of workplace behaviour. The book contributes to the theoretical discourse around organisation studies and employee wellbeing, while also seeking to integrate academic concepts with practice. In this way, it offers practical steps towards promoting positivity and happiness in the workplace.Emerald points.Employee motivationPersonnel managementWork environmentPsychological aspectsQuality of work lifeWell-beingBusiness & EconomicsHuman Resources & Personnel ManagementbisacshOrganizational theory & behaviourbicsscEmployee motivation.Personnel management.Work environmentPsychological aspects.Quality of work life.Well-being.Business & EconomicsHuman Resources & Personnel Management.Organizational theory & behaviour.658.314Bakar Raida Abu1653345Rosmawani Che HashimJayasingam SharmilaOmar SafiahMustamil Norizah MohdUtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910818972203321A meaningful life at work4004619UNINA
