ABSTRACT
In the era of globalization, organizations often face volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and cut-throat competition. In order to survive under this kind of uncertainty and complex environment, organizations need to put their best efforts to maximize their resources for sustaining healthy competition and ensuring their safe existence. Under this uncertainty and ambiguity, organizations resort to exploit the employees’ physical and mental powers to gain competitive advantage. In the process, employees experience unrest, discontentment, and frustration at large that hamper their productive potentialities. This is one of the topmost perennial problems that disturb the congenial atmosphere of the workplace, which is essential for achievement of employee well-being (EWB) and happiness. Thus, organizations need to protect the employees’ well-being and happiness by adapting healthy measures that could generate more efficient manpower for producing better results creating bright future of the organizations. Keeping this in view, this paper tries to examine the antecedents and consequences of EWB by proposing a theoretical framework for Indian organizations. It also explores various factors at individual, interpersonal, and organizational levels that contribute to EWB. This study tries to establish a strong link between EWB and their performance. In addition to this, this study also delves to find the future implications of EWB with regard to effective human resource management.
