| dc.description.abstract | purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between work environment supervisor support, psychological capital and employee wellbeing in Uganda revenue authority. The aim of the study was to achieve three objectives including, examining the relationship between work environment and employee wellbeing, to assess the relationship between psychological capital and employee wellbeing, to examine the relationship between supervisor support and employee wellbeing. A cross sectional research design was used and a sample size of 302 respondents.Selfadministered questionnaires was used to collect data. The data was tested for reliability using SPSS and results presented based on the study objectives. Key findings indicated that there was significant positive association between work environment and employee wellbeing, a positive association between supervisor support and employee wellbeing, and a significant positive relationship between psychological capital and employee wellbeing; however, a consistent result indicated that management relationship behavior in the form of supervisor support was the strongest predictor of employee wellbeing at work amongst employees It is therefore recommended that based on the results, training is provided for managers or supervisors who are supportive to their employees. It is also recommended that time is prioritized and opportunities maximized to enhance co-worker relationships by encouraging staff to work together on projects, discuss ideas or share skills or take part in social activities together. Results also indicate that improvements in working conditions are closely associated with increase in wellbeing at work. In relation to supervisor support, positive manager behavior toward staff such as listening to staff, showing support, trust, respect and concern for staff welfare and a tendency to express appreciation for employee work well done is strongly associated to various aspects of wellbeing. Finally, the results indicated that an increase in psychological capital is associated with an increase in wellbeing. These findings will prove helpful to human resource practitioners, policy makers and business practices. | en_US |
