Abstract
Employee well-being is increasingly recognized as a foundational component of sustainable performance, particularly in high-risk industries such as coal mining. Drawing on theories of the work–family interface and positive organizational behavior, this study examines the mediating role of meaning of work in linking work–family enrichment, work–family conflict self-efficacy to employee well-being. Cross-sectional survey data were obtained from 405 employees across multiple coal mining sites and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicate that both work–family enrichment and meaning of work exert significant direct effects on employee well-being, whereas work–family conflict self- efficacy influence well-being indirectly through meaning of work. Meaning of work fully mediates the relationship between work–family conflict self-efficacy and employee well-being, and partially mediates the relationship between work–family enrichment and employee well-being. These findings demonstrate that employee well-being is shaped not only by psychological resources derived from work and family experiences but also by employees’ capacity to derive meaning from their work. Thus, meaning of work functions as a core psychological mechanism that transforms self-efficacy and enrichment into sustained well-being within coal mining occupations.
