Description
Summary:The aim of this article is to provide information about using Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being in Slovenia. Based on the initial presentation of the concept of psychological well-being (PWB), this article subsequently presents the results of empirical research in the PWB of employees in organizations in Slovenia. The main goal of this research is to present the procedure of building a PWB model based on the Ryff and Keyes multidimensional model of well-being, which was adapted to the studied population. By using factor analysis, both the exploratory and the confirmatory one, we confirmed that the PWB model is multidimensional. We made a selection of constructs and indicators that best describe PWB. The results of the final PWB model can let us report that the relationship between PWB and "autonomy" is stronger than the relationship between PWB and "positive relations with others", and between PWB and "self-acceptance". For the human resource management activities in Slovenian organizations it is also important that employees want to learn and grow. The results provide the basis for the future actions, necessary to raise awareness of stakeholders.
