Abstract:

This research paper aimed to assess the psychological well-being of employees at this time of pandemic. A total of 45 respondents participated in this study and were profiled based on sex at birth, age, marital status, employment status, employment level, years employed, highest educational attainment, and work arrangement. The researcher used a 42-item Ryff's Psychological Well-being Scale that measures the dimensions on autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. The overall psychological well-being across different dimension is at an average level and results also revealed that there is no significant difference in demographic profiles across different dimensions.
