Abstract: The present research examines the link between organisational virtuousness (OVR) and perceived organisational support (POS) towards enhancing well-being at workplace. Further, this research also explores psychological capital (PSC) as a mediator on the hypothesised links. Four hundred seven responses were collected from the employees of selected cement manufacturing plants in Odisha, India using perception-based surveys. The research model was evaluated through structural equation modelling (SEM). Based on the empirical results, the hypothesised links between the model constructs were found positive and significant. Also, the results indicate the partial mediating effect of PSC on the hypothesised paths. The study findings provide new insights to the scholarly community to better understand the concept of well-being at workplace, especially in emerging markets. In the long-run, employee well-being leads to positive outcomes for the manufacturing organisations that are competitive and demand high-levels of productivity and commitment.
