TL;DR: In this article, a multi-dimensional scale measuring the learning potential of the workplace (LPW) is presented, which is applicable across various occupational settings based on a comprehensive literature review.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of non-hedonic subjective well-being (SWB) was proposed to assess the potential impact of work role stress (specified by source) in this new model of SWB, and examine the direct and indirect effects of potentially supportive communication.
