Summary/Abstract: Employee well-being and a positive workplace culture consist of employees who enjoy and are passionate about their work. It includes employees who show interpersonal and professional pride in the services they provide to their customers and clients, who interact with co-workers collaboratively and collegially, and who enthusiastically engage in healthy workplace relationships. This highly desirable employee behavior within enterprises is not easily attainable. As a result, this paper investigates and investigates how management style impacts employee well-being in the Albanian business environment. Based on semi-structured interviews with high and middle management of large enterprises in Albania, this paper examines how adherence to international standards to tackle workplace stress affects employee well-being and the degree of nurturing enterprise culture. A comparison is made between locally-owned and foreign-owned enterprises. This paper concludes that managers who can distinguish between a certain healthy amount of employee competition and more destructive ones that affect both a single employee, the department, and ultimately the enterprise are the ones possessing more leadership qualities and capable of continuously cultivating the highest degree of employee well-being in their enterprises.
