The role of psychological resources in workers’ well-being in industrial parks in Hanoi

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the roles of psychological resources and social support in predicting subjective well-being among 429 workers employed in industrial parks in Hanoi, Vietnam. Multiple regression analyses showed that three psychological resources together explained 30.0% of the variance in subjective well-being, with self-efficacy and resilience emerging as significant positive predictors. When social support from family, friends was added to the model, the explained variance increased to 42.6%, and self-efficacy and resilience remained significant positive predictors, although their unique contributions were reduced. These findings highlight the importance of developing psychological resources while strengthening social support to enhance workers’ subjective well-being. They also provide an empirical basis for designing interventions and support policies aimed at improving quality of life, mental health, and the sustainable development of the workforce in industrial parks.
