Abstract

Workplace loneliness is the perception of relationship deficit in any organization which hampers the employee’s psychological well-being, which is an essential attribute for overall organizational performance. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of workplace loneliness and perceived organizational support on psychological well-being and the moderating effect of resilience on psychological well-being. The study has gathered 391 data points from various working executives in different organizations in India. The data have been analysed by using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results have shown a negative association between workplace loneliness and a positive association with perceived organizational support for psychological well-being. It has also been exhibited that resilient employees discount the perception of loneliness in the workplace. The results of this study will certainly help organizations design their policies for supporting employees and develop resilient employees through necessary interventions. The study is unique in highlighting the effect of one of the negative workplace attributes and the essential ways to overcome the same in a single study.

工作场所孤独感对员工幸福感的影响：组织支持和弹性的作用

工作场所孤独感是任何组织中对关系缺陷的感知，它阻碍了员工的心理健康，而心理健康是组织整体绩效的一个重要属性。本研究的目的是了解工作场所孤独感和感知的组织支持对心理幸福感的影响，以及韧性对心理幸福的调节作用。这项研究从印度不同组织的不同在职高管那里收集了391个数据点。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明，工作场所的孤独感与组织对心理健康的支持呈负相关，而与组织对精神健康的支持呈正相关。研究还表明，有韧性的员工会忽视工作场所的孤独感。这项研究的结果肯定会帮助组织设计支持员工的政策，并通过必要的干预措施培养有韧性的员工。这项研究的独特之处在于，在一项研究中强调了一种消极工作场所属性的影响，以及克服这种影响的基本方法。
