Abstract

This chapter aims to analyze sustainability from the perspective of the employees' well-being. In this regard, the concepts of social sustainability and sustainable development objectives are reviewed in the frame of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically those related to well-being, gender equality, and decent work. Furthermore, the relationship between employees' well-being and performance is discussed. In addition, the psychology of sustainability and its contribution to sustainable well-being at work are analyzed. This study highlights the relevance of social factors such as psychological well-being, equity, opportunities for participation, inclusion, and diversity for achieving the creation of value through social sustainability. All these social factors acquire even more relevance in times of crisis as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, some conclusions and further directions are presented
