Clarence P. Coloma, Lyra Joce C. Manglal-lan, Raiza Carillo, Earl Jemscent C. Lopez, and Carl Nicolaih C. Domingo are undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Northwestern University, Laoag City. This research, titled “Thriving at Work: The Impact of Employee Wellness Programs on Perceived Productivity,” investigates the effects of Employee Wellness Programs (EWPs) on perceived productivity within the academic environment of Northwestern University. The study is based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Theory and Self-Determination Theory, examining the relationship between wellness initiatives—such as physical health, mental health support, work-life balance strategies, and organizational support—and employee productivity.
The authors collectively contribute to exploring how wellness initiatives can improve engagement, job satisfaction, and overall performance. The findings provide valuable insights into the role of wellness programs in creating more effective and supportive work environments, particularly within academic settings.
