"Workplace wellbeing, i.e. the physical, psychosocial, and emotional health aspects of an individual's working life, can be a predictor of overall health. Promoting workplace wellbeing is essential because of its impact on workers' physical and mental health, productivity, and engagement. Nonetheless, there is a gap in our understanding of how workplace wellbeing differs across marginalised worker populations. Guided by the Demands-Resources-Individual Effects (DRIVE) model, the objective of our review is to synthesise evidence on work-related determinants associated with the workplace wellbeing of women, ethnic minority, disabled and immigrant workers across the European Union (EU). A search of the MEDLINE, CINAHL, EconLit, SCI-Expanded, SSCI and SCOPUS databases retrieved 2,594 results. We identified 25 additional studies through hand-searching. After full-text screening, 191 studies were included in the review. Of these, the majority (131 studies, 68.6%) focused on women, 24 studies (12.6%) looked at immigrant and disabled workers respectively, while the lowest number was on ethnic minorities (15, 7.9%). Job quality was covered in 94 studies (49.2%), 50 (26.2%) examined work-life balance and 75 (39.3%) looked at job satisfaction. Exposures associated with negative workplace wellbeing included working in healthcare, manual work and workplace discrimination. Conversely, better workplace wellbeing was associated with white-collar work and policy co-production. Our findings indicate there is limited evidence on the workplace wellbeing of ethnic minority, immigrant and disabled workers in the EU. However, where data is available, women and marginalised groups report poorer workplace wellbeing than their non-marginalised counterparts."
