Abstract

URENA BONILLA, Pedro; BARRANTES BRAIS, Kristy  and  SOLIS BASTOS, Laura. Bienestar psicológico, espiritualidad en el trabajo y percepción subjetiva de la salud en personal académico y administrativo de la Universidad Nacional: Psychological Well-Being, Spirituality at Work, and Self-Reported Health by Faculty and Staff from Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica. Educare [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.155-175. ISSN 1409-4258.

The purpose  of this  study  was  to  determine and  describe  the  relationship  between psychological  well-being, spirituality at work, and  self-reported  health  by faculty and  staff from Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica. Participants included 397 women and 258 men (n = 655). Data was collected  using psychological  well-being  and  spirituality at work scales and  a self-reported health  questionnaire. High values were found  in the  purpose  in life (6.08±1.08), self acceptance (5.96 ± 1.06), social functioning  (2.47 ±0.37), meaning of work (5.95 ±0.89), and inner life (5.81 ± 1.09) categories. The lowest average values were reported in the following categories: interpersonal relationships (3.78 ± 0.87), autonomy (3.91 ± 0.83), and environment mastery (4.63 ±0.75). Significant correlations were found between the psychological well-being, self-reported health, and spirituality dimensions. In conclusion,  it is important to  take  into  consideration the  subjective  aspects  of personnel well-being and to determine which areas need intervention in order to promote a healthy university environment.
