Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of the literature on crafting and the satisfaction of autonomy, competence, relatedness, and meaning in life to better understand how these psychological needs relate to or impact the crafting process. We systematically searched four databases and found 134 papers that met the inclusion criteria. We found that autonomy and meaning in life were two psychological needs that were frequently related to the process of crafting and that competence and relatedness were important but less researched. The satisfaction of psychological needs were often an outcome of crafting, though only job crafting consistently measured psychological needs as the antecedent to crafting. We conclude with recommendations for future research and questions to be addressed.

The investigation draws on a comprehensive national survey in Spain encompassing 2,270 responses, ensuring representative profiles in terms of gender, residence, income, age, and economic sector. Considering the aforementioned factors, this research aims to underscore the necessity of recognizing the interconnections between sustainability and quality of life in policy and decision-making processes towards social happiness. To achieve this, an analysis of variance is presented, enabling the examination of significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics of Spanish citizens across the three dimensions defining sustainability. Specifically, income, age and population size are key in determining the relationship between sustainability and social happiness. Furthermore, an econometric analysis has demonstrated a positive relationship between sustainability and quality of life in Spain. The key factors are safety, trust, income, and accessibility. The findings of this study can provide valuable insights to inform policy decisions aimed at promoting sustainability and enhancing the overall quality of life.

Using data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), this study explores the impact of housing tenure and intrahousehold homeownership structure on residents’ health in urban China. The results indicate that full owner-occupancy weakens residents’ health by compressing their time for rest and relaxation and squeezing household medical expenditure. Further analysis on the effects of attribution of full homeownership between couples finds that, compared with spouse-owned, self-owned or couple-owned improves residents’ health by lowering the possibility of sacrificing career for family, reducing labor hours and easing debt pressure. Importantly, couple-owned generates more health benefits than either self-owned or spouse-owned. In addition, the health effects of intrahousehold homeownership structure are greater among young adults, those with higher income than their spouses and those with strong awareness of gender equality. It is also worth noting that there are gender-based health differences in marriage due to the intrahousehold homeownership structure.
