Sažetak
The Conservation of Resources theory has been set in motion to
understand the psychological wellbeing at work-place-focused
foothold of the realm in light of the JD-R theory. Life insurance
agents experience multifarious stressors and challenges that negatively
impact their psychological wellbeing. The current pandemic
situation of the COVID-19 outbreak has directed significance to
workplace health promotion as a novel postulation addressed in
this study. This research is the first to empirically test and investigate
the predicting effects of perceived stress, mindfulness, social
support, and self-efficacy on psychological well-being among 794
Life Insurance Agents in India. This non-experimental research
method incorporates the reflective model analysed through Smart
PLS-3. A power analysis is executed by drawing evidence from
India recruited through random sampling. Results show mindfulness
as the strongest and most effective predictor of positive psychological
well-being. This study underpins the significance of
mindfulness-based interventions in unprecedented times during
the COVID-19 pandemic where the mindful selling of the right
policies surges and assists the agents to build a long-term relationship
with the customers. Future studies should try to test
these interventions with multi-centred research that can further
enhance the robustness of research findings.
