Abstract: Employee well-being is an important concern for any organisation to ensure high performance and productivity from employees. Present study focused on understanding and exploring the predictive role played by quality of work life in ensuring employee well-being. The rationale was to explore the association between employee well-being and the different dimensions of quality of work life. The paper used quantitative approach and data was collected from 117 employees of chosen organisations from solar power sector. The variables were assessed using a self-designed tool for measuring the eight dimensions of QWL based on model of Walton (1973) and the general health questionnaire (Goldberg and Williams, 1988) for measuring employee well-being. The findings support the hypothesised relationships and indicate that QWL does predict employee well-being. The present study suggests that ensuring good QWL will lead to self-driven and vigorous talent base, thereby leading to enhanced employee performance.
