Socioeconomic status (SES)—one’s objective economic and social standing—has the potential to yield critical implications for employee well-being. Despite vast multidisciplinary literature on topic, management scholars have historically treated SES as a control variable only recently begun critically examine role of at work. Because this, relatively little is known about that work-specific factors play in relationship between well-being, well socio-environmental context (i.e., understanding who more vulnerable health inequalities due demographics or environmental contexts which they operate). To integrate study fully into theory research, we draw resource-based theories develop an organizing framework reviewing synthesizing this topic spans multiple disciplines. In so doing, unpack dynamic reciprocal elucidating mechanisms job demands resources) linking well-being (and vice versa) clarifying how these amplify attenuate effects Further, provide evidence affecting aforementioned relationships. We conclude with critique literature, highlighting methodological limitations opportunities future research. Ultimately, our hope research applied psychology regard not merely nuisance variable, but subject meriting dedicated inquiry.
