Data was collected fi·om 420 employees using self-administered questionnaires and analysed vvith Smart PLS 4.0. T he results showed that financial motivation was positively related to job performance. At the same time, workplace happiness and mindfulness were also positiYely associated with job performance and mediated the relationship between financial motivation and job performance. The result emphasizes workplace mindfulness and employees' happiness as crucial mediators of financial motiYation and hence influences job performance. These findings support the importance of intrinsic motiYation factor s, such as workplace happiness and mindfulness in enhancing job performance.

Based on a sample size of four hundred and ninety-nine (499) frontline managers drawn from selected manufacturing firms, smart partial least squares (SMART PLS) 3.0 was adopted to show the relationships among frontline managers' competencies, wellbeing initiatives, and perceived job engagement in the world of work. The statistical results show that the dimensions of front-line managers' competencies, significant change-management skills, employee relations, business savvy, and problem-solving skills, greatly influenced job engagement, while components of talent wellbeing initiatives mediate the relationship between front-line managers' competencies and job engagement. The study recommends that frontline managers adopt a continuous competency evaluation approach, focusing on frequent evaluations to identify areas of improvement and potential for development. As a means of developing a resilient and competent managerial workforce, it emphasises the significance of specifically designed wellbeing programmes that address the difficulties associated with their jobs. Organisations may foster a good work environment that improves wellbeing in general and supports long-term, productive engagement. Existing literature that focused on the frontline managers' competency theme in the manufacturing industry scarcely examined the processes critical to wellbeing initiatives and perceived job engagement in the manufacturing industry. As a result, the present study uses a moderating variable of employee wellbeing initiatives to explain how frontline managers’ competencies foster job engagement.
