Proposed University Services towards Greater Eudaimonic Well-being of Condominium Residents

This study explored the dimensions of Eudaimonic Well-being (EWB) Theory in condominium living in Metro Manila, focusing on how high-density urban living impacted personal growth, autonomy, and social well-being. Given the increasing popularity of condominiums as housing options, the research aimed to understand residents’ experiences of self-actualization, purpose, and community engagement. The qualitative study involved 24 participants from various cities in Metro Manila. Data were collected through 13 open-ended questions and analyzed using thematic and content analysis, providing insights into urban living’s effect on EWB and informing urban planning and community development. The study found that condominium living offers a dynamic journey toward Eudaimonic Well-being (EWB), which emphasizes personal growth, autonomy, and meaningful life goals. Condominium residents experience autonomy through independent decision-making in finances and lifestyle, promoting self-determination and personal development. Security features provide a stable foundation for growth, reducing anxiety and fostering self-actualization. However, financial strain, due to high costs and hidden expenses, can hinder EWB. While the convenience of condo living enhances life satisfaction, the community aspect presents mixed experiences, with some residents feeling isolated. Despite challenges such as limited space and financial obligations, overcoming them fosters resilience and personal growth. The journey toward EWB in condominiums involves balancing convenience, security, and growth, with successful navigation leading to higher life satisfaction and psychological flourishing. Research supports that managing these dynamics effectively enhances EWB, leading to greater well-being and fulfillment.
