Employment and subjective well-being has been the center of Human Resource Management research for a while. A line of literature in business research has indicated that happy people, or people with high subjective well-being, are more successful at their work place. It has empirically been proven for well-being to have a significant impact on a number of areas in business aspects: People with higher SWB (subjective well being) make more productive workers (Oswald & Proto, 2014) Employees with higher SWB make better managers (Hosie & Willemiens, 2012),  such employees are better for economic growth of their countries (Stevenson & Wolfers, 2008.) Business world has been quick at recognizing the ‘tangible’ benefits of workforce with increased well-being.  The question remains as to what fosters the well-being values and how to manage them. This topic is especially actual at the age of Covid-19 psychological impacts, as well as automation internationally which is also being actively integrated in Uzbekistan. The experts in human resources field predict increase need for intellectual workers in the future as most manual work may be replaced by artificial intelligence and robotics. In the light of that there is even a stronger need to investigate into the well being and motivations of workers whose work is highly cognitive. Limited research is done in this field both internationally and comparative to Uzbekistan. The given research below attempts to address that.
