Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants that influence the well-being of employees within the private sector in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The present study was carried out in a quantitative research design, wherein data was collected through a survey using a questionnaire. This case study included a total of 250 participants. The study incorporated several independent variables, namely incentives, organizational culture, communication, and job design. The study revealed that each of the independent variables exhibited a positive influence on employee wellbeing, with all variables demonstrating a significant impact on wellbeing. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was computed to be 0.93 for the entire dataset. The correlation coefficients for the variables of incentives, organisational culture, communication, and job design were computed to be 0.6819, 0.6955, 0.6497, and 0.6675, respectively. The results of the regression analysis indicate that variables collectively account for 57.84% of the total impact on wellbeing. Specifically, incentives, organisational culture, communication, and job design contribute 46.49%, 48.38%, 42.21%, and 44.56% respectively to this impact.
