Main Article Content
Abstract
After the pandemic, companies have begun to pay attention to the issue of workplace loneliness and well-being. This study employs purposive sampling and conducts an online questionnaire survey to investigate the relationship between perceived social support (supervisors’ and coworkers’ support), workplace loneliness, and employee well-being. The participants are 735 Chinese employees of Top 500 Chinese enterprise from the Shandong Province of China. This study uses SPSS 25.0 to analyze the data. The results indicated that higher levels of perceived social support from supervisors and coworkers will lead to lower levels of workplace loneliness, which in turn will improve employee well-being. This study’s results could provide useful insights for human resources departments. This study has the potential to contribute to the understanding of the impact of social support and workplace loneliness on employee well-being and to inform practical interventions to promote employee well-being in the manufacturing industry.
