A Conceptualisation and Measure of Service System Well-being (SSW)

Collective creation of a positive impact to reduce inequalities and consumer vulnerability across service sectors is an emerging transformative service research priority and strategic UN sustainable development goal. Improving the well-being of a service system equips individuals within a collective and can alleviate pressing economic and societal challenges.

This research presents a concept of collective well-being in the form of service system well-being (SSW) and a comprehensive multi-dimensional scale to operationalise micro, meso and macro levels of a service system to measure collective well-being. Increasing understanding of the SSW concept and utility of the scale can support transformative outcomes for individuals, organisations, and service systems at large.
