Abstract

Do emotional well-being and employee engagement positively predict life satisfaction in the presence of gender differences? We conducted a cross-sectional study in top five cities of Pakistan by inviting organizational employees from service sectors (n = 198; 65% females, age = 26years-30years). The key predictors were emotional well-being and engagement with life satisfaction as the outcome variable and gender as the key moderator. Emotional well-being and engagement are positive predictors of life satisfaction. Results, moreover, showed that the effect of engagement on life satisfaction is stronger for male employees than females; however, such moderation effect could not be confirmed in the relationship between emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
