An Examination of the Meanings and Antecedents of Employee Well-being

In recent years, employee well-being has become an important research topic for organizational researchers. This paper explores the meanings and antecedents of employee well-being among public, private and non-profit sectors. To begin with, we address three sets of research questions about employee well-being. The first is about the meaning of employee wellbeing and the dimensions of the concept. Second, what is the perception of well-being among employees in the three major sectors? Is there a significant difference between them? Third, in the context of our country, what are the main personal and organizational factors that affect employee well-being? Moreover, to what extent do these factors affect various dimensions of well-being? After reviewing two traditions of research on well-being, we foster a more integrated approach to assessing and measuring employee well-being. It was found that factors associated with well-being, including personal backgrounds, work settings, and other organizational characteristics, could affect the consequences of well-being in the workplace. Then, a major test of our model involves the use of secondary data analysis -- data that was gathered from the Work and Life section of“Taiwan Social Change Survey”(2015, Round 7, Year 1) of Academia Sinica. Analysis of variance and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results showed that employee well-being in public sector was not significantly higher than that of private sector and non-profit sector as expected. Furthermore, employee well-being was predictive of gender, work/family conflict, and friendliness of work settings. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed and potential areas for future research were proposed.
