abstract: 'Purpose - This paper investigates the determinants of subjective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
well-being in Europe using the European Living, Working and COVID-19
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
(ELWC) Survey carried out by Eurofound (2021). Socio-demographics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics, employment status, measures of economic distress,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality and work life balance are considered. Particular attention is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paid to how quality of government support (QGS), that considers the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dimensions of good governance such as integrity, fairness, reliability,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responsiveness and influences subjective mental well-being (WHO-5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through the mediation of trust in other people and in institutions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach - To this end, the authors estimate a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
moderated mediation model for analysing the indirect role of QGS on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHO-5 through institutional trust and trust in people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings - The results support the hypothesis that the reduction in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHO-5 in the European population during coronavirus disease 2019
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(COVID-19), particularly marked in the 18-34 age group, is related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the perceived inadequacy of government interventions in managing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic and social uncertainty through supportive measures. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcome is also due to reduced trust in institutions and other people,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as both are significant mediators that reinforce the impact of public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support on WHO-5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Practical implications - Government should pay greater attention to this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship amongst good governance, trust and mental health of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
citizens because a healthy human capital is a significant factor for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
long-run economic growth, in a special way when the authors refer to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young workforce with a greater life expectancy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originality/value - In the literature, the role of trust as a mediator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has been analysed in the relationship between individual economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
situations and subjective well-being before and during the COVID-19
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pandemic. To the best of the authors'' knowledge, no studies have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examined the role of perceived QGS on subjective mental well-being using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the mediating and backing effects of trust in people and institutions.
