Well-being and life satisfaction of an individual are highly impacted by their perceived task identity. Well-being of an individual can be referred to as a perceived satisfactory existence by the individual, physically, mentally, and socially. The present investigation aims to assess the relationship between perceived task identity, employee well-being and life satisfaction. This study was conducted on a sample of 70 employees from the private sector residing in Kolkata. The age range was 20 to 40 years. The research design was a correlation design. Three different scales, Job Characteristics Inventory by Sims, Szilagyi, and Keller (1976), Employees’ Well-being by Ryff (1995), and Life Satisfaction by Diener (1985), were used to measure the perceived task identity, employees’ wellbeing and life satisfaction level. The non-random sampling technique (Snowball sampling technique) was used to collect the data through a Google link. The result supports our hypotheses that there is a positive relationship between task identity and well-being (r=0.42, p< .001). The study further implies that there is a positive correlation between well-being and life satisfaction (r=0.39, p<.001).
