dc.description.abstractAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis examines the analysis of the impact that pet-friendly policies in an organization have on the well-being of its employees. Nowadays, organizations are aware of the importance of creating a positive well-being environment as part of their organizational culture and the burnout and distress that entails the workload. Previous studies have shown the positivity in people's lives created when their level of well-being is high. Furthermore, research has proved that pets could increase well-being despite some constraints. Therefore, some organizations opted to implement pet-friendly policies. For data collection, a survey was chosen as a quantitative method approach, where 65 answers were collected by the thesis' author. The findings clearly stated positive and negative thoughts about having pets in the workplace. In addition, the respondents also provide some reasons. Finally, all the information was analyzed and tested to prove if a positive correlation exists when employees who feel comfortable with pets present positive well-being. Keywords: pet-friendly policies, well-being, organizational culture, burnout, distress, workload, positive well-being, pets, workplace, survey, quantitative method, positive correlationen
