Descripción:The purpose of this study was to determine and describe the relationship between psychological well-being, spirituality at work, and self-reported health by faculty and staff from Universidad Nacional in Costa Rica. Participants included 397 women and 258 men (n = 655). Data was collected using psychological well-being and spirituality at work scales and a self-reported health questionnaire.  High values were found in the purpose in life (6.08±1.08), self acceptance (5.96 ± 1.06), social functioning (2.47 ±0.37), meaning of work (5.95 ±0.89), and inner life (5.81 ± 1.09) categories. The lowest average values were reported in the following categories: interpersonal relationships (3.78 ± 0.87), autonomy (3.91 ± 0.83), and environment mastery (4.63 ±0.75). Significant correlations were found between the psychological well-being, self-reported health, and spirituality dimensions. In conclusion, it is important to take into consideration the subjective aspects of personnel well-being and to determine which areas need intervention in order to promote a healthy university environment.
