“…Therefore, it is imperative that a cognizant decision is made every time before displaying compassionate behavior regarding whether the receiver is in a distressful situation enough for calling display of compassion and whether our actions will serve the purpose of alleviating suffering. In line with the earlier research conducted on happiness and its associated outcomes (Pradhan et al, 2017), this research brings forth a fresh viewpoint for human resource practitioners for enhancing happiness at work and sustaining a positive work environment by executing training programs designed to develop compassion for others in order to realize thriving positive organizations.…”

Drawing on positive activity model ( Lyubomirsky & Layous, 2013 ), the present study aims to examine the relationship of employees’ compassion for others and the level of workplace happiness whilst investigating mediating mechanism of positive affectivity. The study further explores the role of perceived organizational support (POS) in bolstering the happiness of the employees. Using the purposive sampling technique, a sample of the Indian working population ( N = 422) was selected for the study. Standardized instruments were administered to the respondents for data collection. Structural equation modeling findings revealed that the employees who showed more compassion toward others experienced a higher level of happiness at work. The results indicated that the positive emotions acted as a significant mediator in this relationship. The PROCESS macro analysis showed that the POS moderated the link between compassion and workplace happiness for the employees in a positive direction. The study highlights the importance of performing intentional positive activities for the better well-being of the employees. The implications of the study in terms of practicing positive psychology for creating thriving modern organizations are discussed.

“…In the first phase of the study, we examined the available literature related to employee well-being and different scales associated with well-being. In the second phase of this study, content analysis of employee well-being was conducted using analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which revealed four different factors related with the construct of employee well-being (Pradhan, Hati & Kumar, 2017). The factors are PWB, social well-being, workplace well-being and SWB.…”

“…The variance explained by workplace well-being is 12.323 per cent. Workplace well-being was previously theorized by few researchers as an important dimension of employee’s well-being (Page & Vella-Brodrick, 2009; Slemp et al, 2015; Zheng at al., 2015) and is also supported by the findings of the present study.…”

Employee well-being is always found to be strategically relevant to organizations and individuals and has developed into one of the focal areas of research in the study of organizations. However, researchers have shown lots of interest in this field due to the lack of a proper theoretical model and comprehensive scientific tools to measure employee well-being at work. The present study aims at developing and validating a multidimensional scale of employee well-being through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Based on literature and feedback received from academicians and HR practitioners, a 62-item questionnaire of employee well-being was developed for empirical validation. The samples consist of academicians and HR professionals, and they were interviewed to gauge their understanding of employee well-being. Initially, opinions from various experts were obtained regarding the instrument and its proposed dimensions. Forty-nine items were generated from the initial study for further validation through field surveys. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was carried out on the data collected from 316 employees of the Indian service industry to examine the factor structure of the scale. It was revealed through the use of EFA that the new instrument of employee well-being is formed by four discreet factors: social well-being, psychological well-being, subjective well-being and workplace well-being. Finally, CFA was carried out using AMOS 20, 31 items were retained for the new scale of employee well-being. The theoretical and practical applications of the study are discussed in the context of employee well-being.

Data were collected from the Indian public sector bank employees, especially from those who are regularly going to the banks even during the lockdown situation. A total of 239 respondents were contacted via online and offline method.FindingsThe authors reported that bank employees feel the breach of psychological contract which induced job stress. Further, job stress negatively impacts their psychological empowerment and psychological empowered employees exhibit increased innovative behavior and well-being. The authors also found that job stress and psychological empowerment mediated the relationship between PCB and outcome variables, and learned helplessness moderates this relationship. The current study captures the psychological response of employees during the pandemic era.Originality/valueThe study also highlights that during the pandemic, when majority of the employers have given work from home, the public sector employees were regularly going to the banks with fragile mindset. The banks' managers and HR managers can also understand that how the fulfillment of expectations is important not only for employee well-being but also for the health of the organization.
