To Determine the Mental Health Issues and Wellbeing of Administrative Staff in Different Universities of Punjab

Abstract

The physical infrastructure, and support for faculty and students. Despite their crucial role, the mental health and wellbeing of administrative staff members are often overlooked. The motivation for this research arises from the recognition that the mental health and wellbeing of administrative staff have a significant impact on their job performance and overall organizational effectiveness. Exhaustion, stress, burnout, and dissatisfaction are common issues faced by these individuals, leading to decreased productivity, higher turnover rates, and a negative work environment. Using a co-relational research design, data were collected from 50 administrative staff members through standardized instruments including Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale and the Job Satisfaction Survey. Results indicated a moderate positive correlation between job satisfaction and wellbeing. A t-test showed a significant difference in job satisfaction based on marital status, with single employees reporting higher satisfaction. However, no significant difference in wellbeing was observed between marital groups. The study highlights important theoretical and practical implications for improving workplace wellbeing and proposes avenues for future research.
