Abstract

Based on theoretical approaches and empirical results from the research fields of temporary work and subjective well-being, the added value of investments in the temporary workers’ subjective well-being is discussed by taking the temporary work’s specific triangular employment relationship into account. Positive effects of an increased temporary worker’s subjective well-being on productivity, organizational citizenship behavior, health and commitment as well as a negative relation to turnover intention and the risk of counterproductive work behavior are presented in a summarizing cause and effect model. With regard to the return on investment, also limiting factors of well-being enhancing measures like genetic determination, adaptation processes, chosen reference persons as well as investment costs, misleading signals towards the workforce and the well-being promoting activities’ unknown effectiveness are included in the model.
