• Employee commitment and well-being: A critical review, theoretical framework and research agenda (2010, background): “Recall that eudaimonia is considered a positive lifestyle that contributes to desirable outcomes including personal growth, a sense of meaningfulness, vitality, and psychological and physical health (Ryan et al., 2008; Ryff & Singer, 2008; Waterman et al., 2008).”
• An exploration of the well-being benefits of hedonic and eudaimonic behaviour (2013, background): “This adds support to the proposition that intrinsic motivation may be a prerequisite for activities to be experienced as both hedonic and eudaimonic (Waterman et al., 2008).”
• Eudaimonic conceptions of well-being, meaning in life, and self-reported well-being: Initial test of a mediational model (2011, methodology): “…associations between eudaimonic approaches to well-being and experienced well-being (e.g., McMahan & Estes, in press b; Steger et al., 2008a; Waterman et al., 2008), we first hypothesized that eudaimonic dimensions of conceptions of well-being would be positively associated with…”
• Explaining the Paradox: How Pro-Environmental Behaviour can both Thwart and Foster Well-Being (2013, neutral): “For example, feeling good can lead to doing good, such as acting in a more pro-social way [21], and the other way around, doing good also gives a good feeling [22], also referred to as ―warm glow‖ [23,24].”
• Effect of Event Service Quality and Satisfaction on Happiness Among Runners of a Recurring Sport Event (2015, background): “Waterman, Schwartz, and Conti (2008) also discussed happiness as a construct having two conceptions namely hedonic enjoyment and eudaimonia.”
• Integrating the hedonic and eudaimonic perspectives to more comprehensively understand wellbeing and pathways to wellbeing (2012, background): “Waterman and colleagues (Waterman et al., 2008) have since replicated this study, with slight methodological adjustments.”
• Subjective well-being related to satisfaction with daily travel (2011, background): “At an individual level, both affective and cognitive SWB are partly explained by stable, possibly genetically influenced personality traits (Tkash & Lyubomirsky, 2006), performance of goal-related activities (Deci and Ryan, 2008; Waterman et al., 2008), and positive life circumstances (Lyubomirsky e”
• Theoretical Perspectives Guiding QOL Indicator Projects (2011, background): “A more recent theory of flow and engagement has gained the attention of QOL researchers is eudaimonistic identity theory (Waterman 2005; Waterman et al. 2008).”
