Well-beingKeywords: Work characteristics, job satisfaction, wellbeingSubmission Type: Single PaperSubmission Subtype: Scientific contributionAbstractPurposeDifferent models of wellbeing have shown that work characteristics have an impact on job satisfaction and wellbeing (e.g, Hackman & Oldham, 1980). Thestrong transformations in the nature of work and the workforce boost further research to understand the relationship of prevailing work characteristics withwellbeing, the mechanisms through which this process occur and the potential differences for workers of different age groups.The objective of the study is to explore (1) the mediational role of meaningfulness of work in the relationship between work characteristics and wellbeing; and(2) the role of age in this relationship.Design/MethodologyData from 43,816 workers were obtained from the 5th European Working Conditions Survey (2010). We considered four types of work characteristics: HPWO,autonomy, work intensity and emotional work. Meaningfulness of work was considered as mediator and job satisfaction and wellbeing as outcomes.ResultsStructural equation analysis shows (1) better adjustment for the model showing a partial mediation of meaningfulness of work between work characteristicsand outcomes; (2) and no differences between age groups. LimitationsOther significant work characteristics and potential mediators were not considered in this study.Research/Practical ImplicationsThis study advances the knowledge about the mechanisms linking work characteristics and wellbeing. It also offers practical implications for job design,stressing the validity of the model for workers in different age groups. Originality/ValueThe consideration of age, the examination of mediating mechanisms and testing the model in a big sample of workers from all European countries contributesto the value of this study.
