HR practices and the wellbeing of a marginalised workforce: a review of home health care worker well-being research

This article identifies four critical gaps in HRM and worker wellbeing:

(1) limited attention to the gendered dimensions of wellbeing,

(2) insufficient exploration of the interrelated nature of wellbeing dimensions,

(3) a narrow organisational-level focus that overlooks external influences, and

(4) a lack of emphasis on worker-centred outcomes.

By addressing these gaps, this paper proposes a future research agenda that not only deepens our understanding of HHCWs’ wellbeing but also advances theoretical development of wellbeing in marginalised occupational settings.
