A crtitique on employee performance and well being in organizations

Performance and well being is an important stream in organizational studies. Prior researchers have drawn particular attention towards these concepts. In the present article, the construct of performance, its dimensions and well being is outlined. Moreover, relevance and reasons for excessive emphasis on performance of an employee in today’s world are discussed.
We attempt to connect these two seemingly disparate literatures arguing that underlying element between performance and well being is same. In particular, we note that common element underlying performance and well being is behavioral or psychological. Although we emphasize the complementarities between the two perspectives, we also note points of tension.
Hence, we would also like to argue whether an employee who does not perform well individually/collectively cannot be considered happy/successful in his or her life? Is performance so important/essential for an individual’s well being?
Based on this, conclusions emerging from the paper are drawn. Finally, suggestions for future research and for practitioners are outlined.
