Abstract:

Employee engagement, which describes employees' excitement and attention to their jobs, is a concept whose research emphasises the psychological factors that promote or impede employees' full participation in their roles. This proposed research aims to examine the many dimensions of employee well-being —physical, social, mental, and financial —to determine their combined impact on workplace engagement. This study included the selection of 400 workers from medium- and large-sized enterprises registered with the DIC, Karnataka, India. A quantitative methodology was used, using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis to examine the link between employee well-being and engagement. The findings demonstrate that all aspects of well-being significantly impact employee engagement, with mental and physical well-being being the most powerful factors. Mental well-being is shown to be the most significant element among them, followed by physical, social, and financial well-being. The regression analysis indicates that these aspects significantly influence employee engagement, and organisations need to prioritise a comprehensive well-being strategy to improve engagement and overall organisational performance. The research highlights the need to create comprehensive well-being programs that cater to workers' diverse needs, thereby enhancing workforce engagement and productivity.
