ABSTRACT

Subjective well-being is of great significance to mankind. Consistent with the emerging field of positive organizational scholarship, our study seeks to investigate the relationship between employee energy and subjective well-being (SWB). We propose a moderated mediation framework that examines the employee energy and SWB relationship along with the mediating influence of flourishing and moderating role of prosocial motivation. Data was collected in two waves over a two month time period from 266 bank employees. Our results provide support for our hypothesized model. We find that flourishing plays a vital role in explaining the association between energy and SWB. In addition, the significant and negative interactional impact of prosocial motivation and energy demonstrates that with higher prosocial motivation, employees invest a substantial amount of energy in helping their co-workers which undermines their own flourishing limiting their SWB.
