Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between welfare policies, job conditions, and employee well-being. The main objective is to determine the welfare policies and identify the most useful measures for improving employee well-being and identify workplace conditions that affect employee well-being. Existing research in employee well-being focuses on identifying how one of the main areas (welfare policies or job conditions) affects an employee's well-being. However, there is a gap in research on employee well-being and the relationships between welfare policies, job conditions, and employee well-being in Slovenia. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an overview of how welfare policies and job conditions influence employee well-being in Slovenian organizations. Descriptive quantitative research method was used for the study. Data collection of a survey instrument took place from March to July 2020. The authors used a convenience sampling method to recruit the companies. Results of this research show high levels of job satisfaction related to all aspects.
