Abstract

Work engagement, job involvement, and job satisfaction are pivotal in shaping employees’ job outcomes, which subsequently influence organizational performance. However, these critical factors are often deficient in Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry, leading to suboptimal performance levels. This study delved into the relationship between job outcomes and organizational performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of the workplace environment. An analysis of data from 240 employees across 52 pharmaceutical companies in Lahore, utilizing SPSS and Hayes’ PROCESS macro, revealed that job attitudes significantly impact performance, mediated by the workplace environment. The study identified management practices, effective communication, technology integration, feedback mechanisms, and resource empowerment as key drivers of improved performance. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance employee outcomes and boost organizational performance within the pharmaceutical sector.
