Abstract

Employee performance remains a critical determinant of organizational success, yet studies on the link between employee well-being and performance have produced inconsistent results. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that examines the moderating role of employee satisfaction in the relationship between employee well-being and employee performance. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory (SET), the study argues that when employees perceive organizational support and experience satisfaction with their work, the positive effects of well being on performance are strengthened. Using a conceptual approach, relevant empirical studies were reviewed to establish the theoretical connections among the variables. The findings from the literature suggest that employee well-being enhances performance, but this relationship becomes more robust when employees are satisfied with their jobs. The proposed framework provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to improve productivity through strategies that promote both employee satisfaction and well-being. The study concludes that integrating satisfaction into well-being initiatives can enhance sustainable performance and competitive advantage.
