Paved with good intentions: From digitalization to carbon neutrality.

Researchers and practitioners have promoted digitalization as a crucial tool for achieving carbon neutrality. In this paper, we argue that for digitalization to positively impact carbon neutrality, several essential supporting conditions are required. Using the Georgescu-Roegen/Daly ecological production function approach, we argue that digitalization alone a) will not necessarily lead to dematerialization, partly because it tends to economize on labor rather than other, less sustainable production factors, and partly because it requires a material- and energy-intensive infrastructure; b) will result in both quantitative and qualitative output expansion rather than substituting existing products and services with more sustainable alternatives; and c) will not promote carbon-conscious corporate governance practices.

Spanish Version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale: Validation and Factorial Invariance Analysis in Chile.

The aim of this study is to: (1) examine the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Satisfaction with Life scale (SWLS) on a representative sample of the Chilean population (N = 1,500); (2) test the factorial invariance of the SWLS across gender and employment status (henceforth status); and (3) provide normative data of the SWLS for Chile. Results suggest that the Spanish version of the SWLS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring global life satisfaction in Chile and for comparison across gender and status. Confirmatory factor analysis shows support, across all groups, for a modified single-factor structure of the SWLS that allows error terms of items 1 and 2 to correlate (GFI > .

Life Domain Satisfactions as Predictors of Overall Life Satisfaction Among Workers: Evidence from Chile.

This article examines the subjective antecedents of life satisfaction of workers. Adopting a 'bottom-up' perspective, we assessed the unique influence that satisfaction with multiple life domains have on evaluative judgments of overall life satisfaction. Based on a nationwide sample of 530 Chilean workers, we simultaneously tested the effects of seven life domain satisfactions that have been consistently included in extant models of life satisfaction and subjective well-being.
