A review of the theoretical foundations of financial well-being
Source: ResearchGate
The authors seek to elucidate the conceptualization of financial well-being and propose a theoretical framework for its understanding by examining and synthesizing its theoretical foundations.
Despite its primarily individual focus, comprehending financial well-being necessitates contextualization within broader societal dimensions, given its profound societal implications and its intrinsic connection to socio-economic advancement and subjective well-being.
Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach informed by empirical research and the insights of various scholars and institutions, this study seeks to consolidate the definition of financial well-being while concurrently exploring and comparing its diverse theoretical underpinnings.
