Abstract Employee well-being has become a critical organizational concern that directly influences productivity, satisfaction, and retention. Among various dimensions of well-being, psychological well-being (PWB) has emerged as a significant predictor of employees' attitudes and behaviors in the workplace. This secondary research paper aims to synthesize existing empirical and theoretical literature to examine the role of psychological well-being in enhancing job satisfaction and reducing turnover intentions. Drawing upon theories such as the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, Social Exchange Theory (SET), Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, and Positive Psychology, this paper analyzes how PWB affects employees' affective states, motivation, and retention decisions. Findings from prior studies consistently demonstrate that high levels of PWB enhance job satisfaction, reduce burnout, strengthen engagement, and significantly diminish turnover intentions. Job satisfaction also emerges as a powerful mediator between well-being and retention. The implications underscore the need for organizations to design well-being-centric HR policies, strengthen work-life balance, reduce job stressors, and promote supportive leadership. Limitations and directions for future research are discussed to advance scholarly understanding in this field
