Design/methodology: A theoretical-reflective approach was adopted, based on scientific literature and institutional reports on digital economy, workplace well-being, and telework in Ecuador. Updated and contextually relevant sources were prioritized. The analysis followed an argumentative and progressive structure, synthesizing contributions from wellbeing economics and positive psychology. A key limitation is the low methodological replicability inherent in this type of study. Results: Digitalization is reshaping labor relations by calling for sustainable work environments where well-being and commitment arise from empathetic and flexible management. In Ecuador, rigid organizational cultures with limited integration of subjective well-being persist. Workplace happiness is negatively affected by inadequate teleworking conditions, technostress, and limited cybersecurity. Policies centered on well-being enhance productivity, motivation, and retention. Thus, organizational happiness emerges as a strategy for both human and business sustainability. Conclusions: The persistence of deficient digital infrastructure and rigid organizational cultures in Ecuador hinders the development of telework and limits the perception of workplace happiness in digital environments. Addressing these issues requires transitioning toward new leadership models and adopting organizational approaches centered on well-being and employee autonomy. Originality: This study connects the paradigm of personal wellbeing economics with the reality of telework in Ecuador—an underexplored topic in the region. It also bridges international theoretical frameworks with the Ecuadorian context, highlighting structural challenges that affect the perception of workplace happinesst. 2025 artículo científico 2390-0725 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=638182832002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6381/638182832002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6381/638182832002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6381/638182832002/638182832002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6381/638182832002/movil 10.22430/24223182.3348 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6381 Revista CEA application/pdf Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano Revista CEA (Colombia) Num.27 Vol.11 |
