Within the museum field, it is widely acknowledged that museums can have a positive influence on public well-being. Little is known, however, about the well-being of the people who staff museums, which may influence museums' overall effectiveness and relationships with the public they serve. This research examines the subjective well-being of a group of museum professionals, particularly their workplace well-being, with the intent to start conversations in the field. Forty-four self-selecting participants from three Seattle museums completed the Happiness Initiative's well-being questionnaire, 13 completed a workweek diary study, and four participated in a facilitated discussion.

520 $a Within the museum field, it is widely acknowledged that museums can have a positive influence on public well-being. Little is known, however, about the well-being of the people who staff museums, which may influence museums' overall effectiveness and relationships with the public they serve. This research examines the subjective well-being of a group of museum professionals, particularly their workplace well-being, with the intent to start conversations in the field. Forty-four self-selecting participants from three Seattle museums completed the Happiness Initiative's well-being questionnaire, 13 completed a workweek diary study, and four participated in a facilitated discussion.
520 $a Overall, participating museum professionals had higher well-being scores than a large, preexisting opt-in sample, with strengths in intrinsic well-being and a weakness in time balance. Related to their jobs, participants mostly had positive well-being, with purpose-based tasks, free-choice working, and social cohesion particularly influencing their experiences. Finally, participants indicated that they value the topic of well-being and that others in the museum field should pay attention to it.
520 $a These findings have positive implications for the sustainability of the museum workforce but suggest the field needs to spend more time reflecting about factors that affect the well-being of museum professionals. In particular, when considering how to sustain and improve professionals' well-being for the long-term, it is recommended that the museum field focus on three commodities of well-being: time, agency, and purpose.
