A Systematic Literature Review of Healthy Psychological Working Environment in Haryana Region

Abstract

A supportive psychological environment in the workplace is increasingly recognized as a key factor influencing employee well-being, productivity, and long-term organizational effectiveness. In recent years, scholars have emphasized the importance of mental and emotional conditions at work as critical drivers of employee performance and satisfaction (Bakker & Demerouti, 2022; Kaur & Bedi, 2023). The present study undertakes a systematic review of contemporary literature published between 2022 and 2026, with a specific focus on Haryana. About 20 peer-reviewed studies were carefully examined using a structured and systematic approach to identify major trends and findings.The review reveals that several organizational and psychological factors—including psychological safety, workplace spirituality, work-life balance, leadership support, and organizational culture—play a significant role in shaping employee stress levels and overall well-being (Pradhan et al., 2022; Sharma & Bansal, 2025). Additionally, emerging workplace challenges such as technostress and the pressures associated with remote work have been identified as important areas affecting mental health outcomes (Tarafdar et al., 2023; Yadav & Madhukar, 2024). The study further identifies key research gaps, particularly the lack of region-specific empirical studies, and highlights the need for organizational policies that prioritize psychological health and sustainable work practices.
