Impact of Workplace Friendship on Workplace affective well-being: A Moderated Mediation Model

Abstract

This study examines the impact of workplace friendship on Workplace affective well-being, with the direct effect of work engagement, while positive humor strengthens the relationship between workplace friendship and Workplace affective well-being. It has a sample size of 255 respondents from 5 banks, and convenience sampling has been used to collect the data. This research focuses on the questionnaire used to gather information from 255 employees working in Pakistan's banks. This study uses regression analysis incorporating mediation and moderation to validate hypotheses. Workplace friendships significantly influence Workplace affective well-being, while work engagement has a small impact. As mentioned above, the results show that our hypothesis is accepted, which means a significant positive relationship exists between workplace friendships (WF) and e Workplace affective well-being (WAW). The findings confirm the presence of mediation, while no moderation is present. This study has many implications for bankers, managers, and other service organizations.
