Abstract

This research study intends to find out the effect of organizational culture on the psychological well-being of employees working remotely in Pakistan. With the increase in remote work, especially during the post-pandemic period, it has become more essential to comprehend the role of organizational practices in shaping the psychological well-being of employees. This research is rooted in the literature on occupational health, but more specifically, in the manner that aspects such as communication, managerial support, flexibility, and work-life balance impact employees' mental well-being within a virtual workplace. A cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach was used, collecting the views of 100 full-time remote workers in both local and global organizations in Pakistan. The GHQ and a number of structured items were used to measure workplace culture in multiple dimensions. The findings revealed that employees who reported ineffective communication, lack of managerial support, and poor work-life balance had lower mental well-being. On the other hand, those who felt more flexibility and stronger feelings of belongingness had improved psychological outcomes. This research concludes by insisting on the critical necessity for organizations to rethink their remote work models and adopt more people-oriented policies. In an environment where remote work is poised to become a permanent model, the research underlines the necessity of developing inclusive, communicative, and supportive workplace cultures that prioritize mental health. Through doing so, organizations can enhance not just individual health but also long-term productivity and employee retention in the new future of work.
