Abstract
This paper intends to identify the key factors of employee engagement and well-being as antecedents to employee performance and the resultant impact on employee productivity. The study is empirical in nature and simple random sampling was used for data collection with the private sector of the state of Jammu & Kashmir as the universe. A total of 550 questionnaires were distributed and 513 valid responses collected. Regression and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to predict and estimate the relationship. The findings from the study reveal that all identified factors are predictors of psychological well-being (r2 = 0.46), however, the variables that have a major impact are environmental mastery. autonomy, and self-acceptance. Psychological well-being has a significant impact on employee performance (r2 = 0.42). This study contributes to both theory and practice by investigating the impact of psychological well-being on employee performance and productivity in private sector undertakings.
