Based on organizational support theory, this study examined the indirect influence of perception of organizational support on employee work engagement with the mediating influence of flourishing and thriving at work. Data were collected by utilizing the self-administered questionnaires related to study variables in two different time periods. Using PROCESS Macros on an actual sample of 638 employees, the study found that perceived organizational support was positively associated with employee flourishing, thriving, and work engagement. Moreover, perceived organizational support indirectly influences work engagement via thriving and flourishing. The study provides many insights into evolving constructs (i.e., thriving and flourishing) and examines how organizations can create the psychological state and well-being (hedonic and eudemonic) of employees through the perception of organizational support.
Purpose – We investigated how thriving at work and ethical leadership affects the employee psychological well-being. Further, we also examined the mediating role of voice behaviour between thriving at work and employee psychological well-being as well as ethical leadership and employee psychological well-being.
Research methodology – A quantitative research method was utilized to collect data from employees of a telecommunication company. SPSS and Process Macro were used for data analysis.
Findings – Results demonstrated that thriving at work and ethical leadership are positively associated with employee psychological well-being. Furthermore, the employee voice behaviour acts as a mediator between thriving at work, ethical leadership and employee well-being.
Research limitations – All of the data in this study were collected from single source i.e., employees of information technology industry and also specific to a metropolitan city like Lahore. Further, study has a very limited representation of the females.
Practical implications – the findings suggest that organizations should create such an environment where managers are able to have positive verbal interactions with employees that may facilitate their well-being and makes them satisfied with their jobs.
Originality/Value – This study is one of the first studies to investigate the association between voice behaviour, thriving at work, employee psychological as well as psychological well-being.
