The Mediating Role of Psychological Well-Being and Work-Life Balance in the Relationship Between Perceived Organizational Support and Work Engagement

This study investigates the impact of perceived organizational support (POS) on work engagement (WE), with a particular focus on the sequential mediating roles of work-life balance (WLB) and psychological well-being (PWB). The literature review highlights a scarcity of comprehensive studies that examine both the direct impact of POS on WE and its indirect influence through WLB and PWB. Therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap and contribute to the literature by analyzing the interactions among these constructs. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The findings indicate that the direct effect of POS on WE remains significant, while WLB and PWB partially mediate this relationship in a sequential manner. These results support a partial mediation model in which WLB and PWB mediate the relationship in sequence. Overall, the findings underscore the role of organizational support mechanisms in enhancing employees' work engagement through both direct and indirect pathways.
