Impact of Bengaluru Commutes on the Motivation and Well-being of Employees

Abstract

This study investigated the link between commuting experiences, subjective well-being, and motivation among office workers in Bengaluru, India. A cross-sectional survey was used to gather information from 139 office workers. The selection strategy used random and snowball sampling methods to ensure a broad representation of Bengaluru’s workforce. To assess subjective well-being and motivation, the poll used the BBC Wellbeing Scale and the Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scales (WEIMS). Both scales were found to be reliable and valid in this environment, with the BBC Wellbeing Scale substantially correlated with mental health measures and the WEIMS displaying strong internal consistency and construct validity. The statistical research indicated relationships between commute features including length and stress, as well as well-being and motivation. These findings emphasize the impact of commuting on employees, providing insights into how commuting experiences influence motivation and well-being among Bengaluru office workers. The findings highlight the need to develop organizational initiatives to improve employee well-being and motivation by addressing commuting problems.
