| Abstract [eng] |
In recent decades attitude of individuals towards their life as a whole and mood and emotions that individuals experience towards life events are considered more and more important in well-being analysis. Mainstreem research in a field of subjective well-being is mostly is preoccupied with the listing of the external factors that contributte to formation of subjective well-being and in a lesser extent are preocupied with the conceptualisation of them. In this reserach the impact of external and internal factors on subjective well-being is conceptualised through their contribution to satisfaction of human physilogical and socially accepted needs. On that basis the needs conceptual model of subjective well-being was created. This research suggets that subjective well-being of Lithuanian society is not an exeption in the context of EU countries and it follows a pattern that is peculiar to the EU countries of former command economy region and is different from the contries of so called traditional market economy. Lithuanian society has lower subjective well-being and grater inequality of it than traditional market economy countries. The main factor behind that is that because of intensive globalization process withink EU the socially acepted needs of Lithuanian society is much higher than the social economic abilities of satisfaction of them. |
