Workplace Sustainability and Employee Well-being: The Role of Green Practices in the Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of workplace sustainability on employee well-being within the manufacturing sector, with a particular focus on the role of green practices. As organizations increasingly adopt environmentally responsible strategies, understanding their influence on employees has become essential. The research explores how practices such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmentally friendly workplace policies affect employees' psychological and physical well-being. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from employees working in manufacturing firms. The findings indicate that green practices significantly enhance employee well-being by improving workplace conditions, reducing stress, and fostering a sense of organizational purpose. The study contributes to the literature by linking environmental sustainability with human-centered outcomes and provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to achieve both ecological and social sustainability.
