Abstract

Work from home and social distancing that were implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic caused various psychological complaints such as boredom, anxiety, and even frustration. Especially for employees who work, the covid-19 pandemic provides uncertainty about the sustainability of their jobs. It is reported that many layoffs have occurred as a result of this pandemic. These things have the potential to reduce subjective well-being. This study intends to examine the relationship between optimism and subjective well-being. 368 participants (62.5% women) were included in this study, where participants were asked to complete the Explanatory Style Test and the Subjective Well-Being Assessment Scale. The results of the correlation test found that there was a significant and positive relationship between optimism and subjective and well-being. This study suggests that individuals can embrace optimistic attitude during the Covid-19 pandemic in order to maintain their subjective well-being.
