This study aims to explore the important role of employee well-being in enhancing employees’ commitment to their organization. In an increasingly competitive work environment, organizations need to pay attention to employee well-being as a key factor in creating strong and sustainable relationships. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study analyzes 100 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2023. The findings show that employee well-being, including psychological well-being, work-life balance, and organizational support, has a significant positive impact on employees’ commitment to their organization. These findings confirm that by improving employee well-being, organizations can strengthen loyalty, reduce turnover rates, and improve performance. This study recommends that employee well-being should become a central part of human resource management policies in order to create a mutually beneficial relationship between employees and organizations.References
