        Summary
        The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between employee well-being and workload, taking vitality as a mediator and person-environment fit as a moderator. The main perspectives used were Positive Psychology and Self-Determination Theory. Three hypotheses were proposed and tested. The hypothesis related to the direct relationship between well-being and workload and the mediation through vitality was not supported by the findings. Nevertheless, vitality showed a significant correlation with well-being, which gives room for further research to be done. Moreover, the person-environment fit was proved to be a predictor of well-being, however, showing a weaker correlation compared to vitality. Future research should include other theoretical perspectives and multiple dimensions of workload which could yield a more accurate result and comprehensive understanding of the concept. Finally, it highlights the importance of considering vitality as an outcome and predictor of well-being and the benefits of enhancing person-environment fit in organizations. In conclusion, the use of qualitative research methods to gain a deeper understanding of the specific aspects through which workload influences well-being is strongly recommended.
