Factors Affecting the Employees’ Psychological Well-Being in Pakistan

Abstract

After the pandemic, global uncertainty came into existence and has become one of the biggest issues around the globe. Given this, this research study is focused on factors that affect the psychological well-being of employees in Pakistan and studies the mediating effect of work-life balance between numerous factors and psychological well-being. In this research, we used a quantitative approach, and 175 responses were selected from people working in Pakistan. The information that was collected through the questionnaire was done online. The data was tested in Smart PLS to see all the links between the variables. The results of our study revealed that all independent variables have a significant effect on psychological well-being. This study proves that work-life balance partially mediates the relationship between job insecurity, job engagement and an employee's psychological well-being. This study can assist managers and human resources empower their staff within their organisations. The findings can be used to assist organisations in determining the possible causes of the reduction in the psychological well-being of employees in Pakistan.
