This chapter provides insight into Person-centered characteristics of Characteristicsperson-centred characteristics as predictors of Flourishing and Well-being among diverse employees. The chapter discusses the empirical findings of a cross-sectional quantitative study conducted on a sample of employees from a South African university. The results of the study indicated that core Characteristicsperson-centred characteristics, specifically race and job position, were significant predictors of Flourishing as an indicator of Well-being.

These insights could potentially inform industrial psychologists—with the aim of increasing the levels of Flourishing among higher education employees.
