Abstract
Contrary to prevalent notions that well-being is a personal issue, in this chapter we argue that it is also relational, organizational and communal. If we were to define well-being strictly in terms of subjective reports, as most of the literature on the topic does, we would be hard pressed to denote organizational or communal well-being. After all, the walls of organizations or the streets of communities do not feel or report ill-or well-being. However, if we define well-being as inclusive of social indicators such as levels of unemployment, organizational climate and social capital, the story changes dramatically. Our assumption is that levels of relational, organizational and communal well-being, as measured by different methods and indicators, have a potent influence on the well-being of a particular individual.
