Workplace Friendships, Employee well-being, Korek TelecommunicationsAbstract
This article seeks to examine the influence of workplace friendship on employees’ well–being. Both scientists and practitioners emphasize the importance of workplace friendship for organizational success; we collected data from 208 of employees on Korek Telecommunications in Iraq. Data were gathered by a questionnaire and were analyzed using statistical software's SPSS and AMOS. The results showed that there exists a positive significant effect of workplace friendship on employees’ well-being. In addition, the results of this study contribute to the literature by creating awareness about the topic not only for scholars but also for the executives as well.
