This study examines the mediating role of employee well-being in the relationship between flexible work and financial performance. Flexible work arrangements have gained prominence as organizations seek to enhance employee satisfaction and productivity. However, the mechanisms through which flexible work impacts financial performance are not fully understood. Drawing on a sample of employees from telecom sector, this cross-sectional study investigates the mediating role of employee well-being. The results reveal a positive relationship between flexible work and employee well-being, highlighting that employees with more control over their work arrangements experience higher job satisfaction and work-life balance. Furthermore, employee well-being is found to positively influence financial performance, suggesting that employees with higher well-being exhibit greater engagement and productivity. Importantly, employee well-being mediates the relationship between flexible work and financial performance, indicating that the positive effects of flexible work on financial outcomes are, at least in part, explained by enhanced employee well-being. These findings emphasize the importance of considering employee well-being as a crucial mechanism through which flexible work arrangements translate into improved financial performance.
