Resumen

Background: Workplace well-being among higher education faculty has gained importance due to increasing academic, administrative, and emotional demands in the university context. Methods: This systematic review, based on the PRISMA protocol, analyzed studies published between 2018 and 2024 in Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest, identifying 21 relevant articles. Results: Key dimensions of well-being were identified, including mental health, work-life balance, organizational support, and physical well-being. Strategies such as psychological support programs, flexible schedules, and recreational activities were also described. Success factors included effective leadership, faculty autonomy, and organizational communication. Conclusions: Evidence suggests that implementing comprehensive well-being policies improves faculty quality of life and enhances educational sustainability. However, additional resources, committed leadership, and a proactive institutional culture are required to overcome existing barriers.
