Abstract

The objectives of this research were to study: 1) the relationship between perceived organizational support, work-life balance, and work engagement and subjective well-being of area employees of a commercial bank, and 2) the factors could predict subjective well-being of area employees of a commercial bank. The sample of this study was 210 area employees of a commercial bank. The research instruments were questionnaires on perceived organizational support, work-life balance, and work engagement and subjective well-being and statistics used were descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlation efficient, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.


Results showed that: 1) perceived organizational support, work-life balance, and work engagement were positively correlated with subjective well-being of area employees of a commercial bank; and 2) work engagement (absorption) and work-life balance (time) could predicted subjective well-being of area employees of a commercial bank at .01 level with a predictive power of 73.9%.
