OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of eudemonic well-being (EWB) at work for the associations between psychosocial work environment (PWE) and overall EWB among Japanese workers. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from a 2018 survey. PWE measures included: job demands, job control, and supervisor and coworker support. Path analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analysis were applied to examine the mediating effects of work EWB. RESULTS A total of 834 workers were analyzed. Work EWB completely mediated the associations of job control (β = 0.288, p < 0.001) and coworker support with overall EWB (β = 0.178, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The effects of job control and coworker support associated with overall EWB were fully mediated by work EWB.
