Subjective well-being is an individual evaluation of their life satisfaction and cognitive, emotional, and affective aspects. It is a multi-dimensional construct, incorporating components such as personal happiness, life satisfaction, positive and negative affect, job satisfaction, and substantial meaning in life. Probing the subjective well-being of individuals has become the focus of research, as it helps to uncover how feelings, beliefs, and motivations create or limit personal fulfillment.
