Data was collected from 100 employees in 20 UAE-based international companies. \u0000Findings: The findings revealed that 80% of participants exhibited neutrality or positivity towards the implemented techniques. 45% of respondents had high psychological well-being, while 40% had a strong sense of organizational connection. Only 15% agreed on workplace happiness, but 20% agreed on work ethic, affiliation, mental well-being, independence, and the work environment. An additional 30% were in the neutral zone, while the remaining 30% were autonomous. Positive Built Workplace Environment concept is validated and positive psychology enhanced the work performance of employees in an organization. \u0000Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study suggests that reevaluating multinational companies' performance and productivity indicators (PPI) can enhance employee happiness and well-being. Therefore, companies should consider implementing such evaluations.","PeriodicalId":474499,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business strategies","volume":"18 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139003017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
