For decades, performance has dominated as the “ultimate criterion” in fields such as management, organizational behavior, and industrial-organizational psychology -- yet this singular focus has left blind spots around broader organizational goals and worker well-being. Recent evidence suggests that equating “success” solely with productivity or financial outcomes risks overlooking employee health, sustainability, and social responsibilities. This panel symposium convenes leading scholars from diverse domains to re-examine the value of including well-being as a co-equal benchmark of organizational success. Panelists will share insights on how a holistic framework -- one that spans performance, well-being, and broader societal impact -- can transform not only theory but also day-to-day practice. From novel measurement approaches using biometric technologies to long-standing occupational health research, the session will highlight practical strategies for simultaneously fostering productivity and safeguarding employee well-being. Attendees will gain evidence-based perspectives on how to integrate these dimensions, ultimately sparking a more comprehensive, future-oriented conversation about what truly matters in contemporary organizational life and management practice.
