The manifestation of well-being in engagement and in intrapreneur’s skills: An empirical investigation in a sample of university students

The literature’s review of this study refers to two peculiar issues of people’s well-being and to individual skills needed for its manifestation. Well-being is a multifaceted and extremely complex construct that is investigated in different fields. Nevertheless, it is a spontaneous manifestation, inherent to human beings, which is an expression of their true essence. The main purpose of this study is to check the emerging relationships between engagement, which is typical of the intrapreneur, and individual satisfaction/well-being. The research has explored the decisive factors in the manifestation of individual well-being among a sample of university students. This study can also contribute by exemplifying a University’s potential, in that it provides a global evaluation of these constructs with a specific focus on students. The student’s point of view, in fact, represents a strategic asset. It’s also crucial to underline the importance played by the awareness of students and of the University’s managers in regard to the analysed factors with the goal to enhance the role of the person. The aim of the research was to investigate the correlations and the relations between intrapreneurial self-capital, engagement, general well-being and satisfaction with life by using a sample of university students. The participants consist of 101 students and five tests have been administered. The results resulted in 8 upper-middle correlations. More specifically, it was found that well-being and satisfaction with life are strictly linked to engagement and also, as expected, that intrapreneur-self-capital higher-order construct play a key role in the manifestation of well-being.
