Abstract

Abstract:
This study examined the possibility of predicting job alienation through the contributions of Eudaimonia and employees’ vigor. It also investigated the demographic variables (gender, age, experience, nature of job tasks, and job level) influencing the study variables and explored the psychological factors associated with job alienation. The study tools (Eudaimonia, vigor, and job alienation scales) were developed by the researchers and applied to a sample of 250 participants aged between 20 and 50 years. The results indicated a strong negative relationship between Eudaimonia and vigor with employees' job alienation. Eudaimonia varied based on years of experience, nature of job tasks, and job level, while vigor varied based on age, years of experience, and job level. Job alienation, on the other hand, differed according to gender, age, years of experience, nature of job tasks, and job level. The study also highlighted that Eudaimonia and vigor contribute to predicting employees’ job alienation and identified psychological and social factors associated with job alienation in the workplace. Factor analysis revealed these factors as powerlessness, normlessnes, meaninglessness, and self-estrangement.
