Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates the reciprocal relationships between various aspects of wellbeing in life and at work using longitudinal data from Mexican factory workers, addressing issues of causality and feedback that previous cross-sectional studies often overlooked.
  • Results show that life satisfaction and happiness tend to influence their counterparts at work, with a stronger effect of life satisfaction on job satisfaction, and that life wellbeing impacts work-related wellbeing for depression and meaning in life, but not vice versa.
  • Overall, relationships identified through longitudinal data are weaker than those suggested by cross-sectional studies, highlighting the importance of considering causality and feedback in understanding wellbeing across different life domains.]

A sense of meaning in life increases meaning in work, but finding work meaningful does not necessarily improve life meaning.
