Workplace Well-being and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: The Mediating Effect of Employee Engagement

Abstract

The current research study focuses on the link between workplace well-being and OCB, where the mediating role of employee engagement is investigated in the faculty members working in public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The concept of workplace well-being is considered an essential determinant of employee attitudes and voluntary actions that are related to organizational success. For this purpose, the quantitative, cross-sectional research design has been used in which a structured questionnaire was distributed among 378 faculty members, who have been chosen randomly from public sector universities of KP, Pakistan. Data were analyzed by SPSS and Smart PLS 4 software. Results have shown that workplace well-being has a positive effect on OCB and employee engagement. In addition, OCB has been predicted by the variable of employee engagement and partially mediates the relation between workplace well-being and OCB.
