Investigating The Factors Influencing Employees’ Psychological Capital and Mental Well-Being At Multinational Companies (MNCs) in Beijing
Abstract
This study utilizes the job demands-resources model to examine the relationship between job resources (like organizational climate, co-worker support, authentic leadership, knowledge diversity, and work-life support practices), burnout, psychological capital, and mental health among employees at multinational companies in Beijing. An online survey was filled out by 173 people, and the data were analyzed with PLS-SEM. The results suggest that authentic leadership and work-life support practices had no impact on psychological capital, whereas a positive work environment, helpful co-workers, and a broad range of expertise did. In addition to having direct effects on mental health, psychological capital also indirectly affects mental health through burnout. This study adds to the current literature by examining the mental well-being of employees working for multinational firms in Beijing.
