Item type:Publication, Sustainable development challenges in a war-torn country: Perceived danger and psychological well-being(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020-08-01)The laborer's physical and mental health, well-being, and happiness are among the major indicators for measuring each nation's sustainable development. A conflictive and hostile external environment (war zone) poses considerable difficulty and psychological distress to workers and nonworkers. Therefore, working in such a physically dangerous business environment may hurt worker's well-being and happiness that in turn may reduce the workers' productivity at the workplace. A high level of laborers' productivity in public and private sectors is essential for achieving sustainable development in the long term. Therefore, this paper examines the effects of perceived danger on employees' psychological well-being in war-torn Afghanistan, an issue being addressed for the first time. We tested the moderating role of social support from coworkers on this effect in order to have a broader vision of which individuals are healthier and happier in a physically dangerous working environment. Two survey data sets were collected from 190 employees working in various small private and public businesses in Herat, Afghanistan. Our results reveal the negative impact of perceived danger on employees' psychological well-being and that employees who receive little or no social support from their peers feel the negative effects of a physically dangerous working condition even more acutely. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Happiness, underdevelopment, and mental health in an Andean Indigenous community(Springer International Publishing, 2022-01-01)Evidence indicates that developed countries are not happier compared to middle-income countries. Furthermore, there are indicators of an unhappy, psychopathological overdeveloped society. The purpose of this study is to explore subjective well-being, mental health, and development in a small traditional Andean Peruvian village. An emic, bottom-up method was followed: ethnographical research, in-depth open-ended interviews, and psychometric scales were integrated. Mental health was explored thorough clinical assessment.High levels of happiness and low levels of psychopathology were found. Complex interactions between a balanced life satisfaction, low levels of satisfaction with development, landscape, strong social support, and intensive interactions with friends and family are discussed. This pattern can resemble the ancestral lifestyle, when the brain evolved to produce neurotransmitters of happiness while coping with survival and development challenges. Conversely, modern society and overdevelopment can activate depression and unhappiness. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Perceiving societal pressure to be happy is linked to poor well-being, especially in happy nations(Nature Research, 2022-12-01)Happiness is a valuable experience, and societies want their citizens to be happy. Although this societal commitment seems laudable, overly emphasizing positivity (versus negativity) may create an unattainable emotion norm that ironically compromises individual well-being. In this multi-national study (40 countries; 7443 participants), we investigate how societal pressure to be happy and not sad predicts emotional, cognitive and clinical indicators of well-being around the world, and examine how these relations differ as a function of countries’ national happiness levels (collected from the World Happiness Report). Although detrimental well-being associations manifest for an average country, the strength of these relations varies across countries. People’s felt societal pressure to be happy and not sad is particularly linked to poor well-being in countries with a higher World Happiness Index. Although the cross-sectional nature of our work prohibits causal conclusions, our findings highlight the correlational link between social emotion valuation and individual well-being, and suggest that high national happiness levels may have downsides for some. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, God on the guillotine: The paradigm shift effected by Kant in the philosophical conception of religion(Universidad Compultense Madrid, 2024-01-01)Trying to emulate the ironic pen of Heinrich Heine, I use his legendary comparison between the figures of Kant and Robespierre to give title to my paper, in which I expose the decisive paradigm shift that Kant carries out in the philosophical tradition with respect to the conception of the problem of the existence of God. In a first moment, I refer to the reasons that lead Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason, to dislodge the problem of the “existence” of God from the realm of theoretical reason. In a second moment, I address the displacement of this question to the realm of the Critique of Practical Reason, emphasizing how difficult and paradoxical such a thesis seems to be. Finally, by way of conclusion, I try to formulate a thesis of greater depth that serves as support, in Kant, to the two previous ones, namely, the primacy of philosophy over any other science or discipline, including theology, which can be illustrated in a special way with the case of the censorship of which he was a victim and which led him to the publication of The Conflict of the Faculties. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Does the 2030 Agenda generate happiness? A longitudinal approach to the SDGs vs. the wellbeing of the world(Conscientia Beam, 2024-01-01)This research aims to determine the relationship between the SDGs and the happiness of people in 40 developed and 114 developing countries since the 2030 Agenda initiative was implemented back in 2015. No literature measures such an impact and it is essential to start the debate on the matter. This study determined that the relationship between the SDGs and the world's happiness among the time horizons analyzed (2015-2021) is negligible through a set of panel data and multiple linear regressions. There is much greater structural happiness that comes from sources other than the 2030 agenda. However, although most of these relationships are negative, the classification of the statistically significant SDGs into Maslow's pyramid offers a novel view that allows prioritizing taking actions first on those SDGs associated with the most basic needs of people. This study offers opportunities for future research into why an initiative such as the 2030 Agenda which seeks to generate well-being has the opposite effect and proposes that the initiatives associated with the 2030 Agenda be first linked to the SDGs at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid and that they progressively ascend as positive correlations are achieved between the SDGs and people's well-being. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Social impact of happiness on transformational leadership in students from Colombian universities(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)In the literature, it has been described that affective commitment and transformational leadership are directly related to occupational happiness. In this sense, the present study begins with the premise that subjective happiness may enhance the effectiveness of transformational leadership. For this purpose, the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) were applied to a non-probabilistic sample of 215 business administration students in Colombian universities. Bivariate correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling were used to examine the relationship between the dimensions of happiness and the five leadership practices. The findings indicate that three happiness items correlate positively with transformational leadership practices, suggesting that happier individuals exhibit more effective leadership behaviors. The proposed theoretical model showed a good fit with the empirical data. In conclusion, promoting happiness in leaders not only improves their performance but also positively impacts organizational productivity.1
