ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the interplay between work, sleep, and wellbeing. It also discusses key indicators of wellbeing in the work context. Wellbeing is defined in many ways; thus, the chapter specifies the wellbeing outcomes under investigation in this review. It presents a guiding model of the links between work, sleep, and wellbeing. The chapter talks about directions for future research based on critical gaps in the literature. It also talks about practical implications for employees, organizations, and interventions. The concept and measurement of wellbeing is diverse, but can be divided into context-free and context-specific wellbeing. People with high work-specific wellbeing are those who report more job satisfaction and work engagement, as well as less burnout and occupational stress. Sleep competes with work and nonwork activities because individuals have a finite amount of time to allocate toward daily activities. Job resources are the physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects instrumental for achieving work-related goals because they stimulate personal growth or development.
