Abstract

 In this paper, the researchers examines the role of psychological wellbeing in enhancing productivity of workers in the contemporary organization environment. As the modern world is characterized by a frantic pace of technology, the large workload, and the fluctuation in the workplace environment, the mental state of the workers has become an essential performance and survival factor. The research question that will be answered is on how the effect of the psychological wellbeing, which is comprised of emotional stability, job satisfaction, stress management, and work-life balance can affect the individual productivity and organizational outcomes.The researcher adopts a conceptual and analytic approach to the extent that he went through the existing literature on workplace wellness and productivity. It elicits the most prominent theoretical perspectives including positive psychology and job demands-resource perspective in the description of the interdependence between the wellbeing of workers and performance. Reports of other studies have also shown that a better psychological wellbeing of employees makes them more motivated and more focused in their decision making and their absenteeism is reduced. Stress, burnout, and anxiety, in their turn, are ill mental health aspects, connected to the low performance and high turnover intentions.
