HOW ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT SHAPES EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING: THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF WORK ENGAGEMENT IN THE NATIONAL PARLIAMENT OF TIMOR-LESTE
Keywords:
Perceived Organizational Support, Work engagement, Employee WellbeingAbstract
This study analyzed the impact of Perceived Organizational Support and Work Engagement on employee well-being. This survey was conducted in the National Parliament of Timor Leste, covering all 118 employees as a sample for the survey. Data collection was obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. Data were analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) with Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that Perceived Organizational Support (POS) has a positive but insignificant effect directly on employee well-being, and work engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee well-being. Complementary work engagement partially mediates the effect of Perceived Organizational support on employee well-being. This research recommends to the Secretariat of the National Parliament to pay more attention to the welfare of employees so that employees can feel that the organization values their contribution and cares about their well-being. This is important because employees' involvement in daily work can greatly affect their well-being.
