Abstract

The article presents the results of the university scientific and pedagogical staff’s survey in the South of Russia (Stavropol Krai, Karachay-Cherkess Republic, and the Republic of Dagestan); it characterizes the level of the workplace environmental well-being. The theoretical model of workplace well-being is developed on the basis of the methodology for assessing psychological and environmental (PE) workplace well-being and updated taking into account modern transformations in the professional activities of scientific and pedagogical staff in the higher education system of Russia. Factor analysis of the results of the survey of 377 persons allowed us to empirically present a structural model that determines the importance of individual factors of PE workplace well-being and substantiate the directions of strategic development in the field of personnel policy of a modern university. The information and analytical base of the research and the current model of PE workplace well-being can be used to develop support programs for different categories of scientific and pedagogical staff of the university. The presented research strategy and methodology for studying the PE workplace well-being of scientific and pedagogical staff makes a theoretical contribution to the improvement of personnel work in the higher education system of Russia.
