The role of Optimistic employees in organizations efficiency and productivity is undeniable. The sense of being grounded and feeling good as a result of Optimism helps to pave way to vitality and eventually higher subjective well-being. Optimism is an attributional style that explains positive events in terms of personal, permanent and pervasive causes. Subjective Well-Being (SWB) is person’s cognitive and affective evaluations of his or her life. In order to study the relationship between Optimism and Subjective Well-Being (SWB), a sample of 320 employees working in Private Universities of Delhi/ NCR region were taken. For this purpose, Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) given by Scheier, Carver, and Bridges (1994) and Subjective Well-being Scales- the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS),Scale of Positive and Negative Experience(SPANE) and Flourishing Scale (FS by Ed Diener & Robert Biswas-Diener, 2009) were used. Results show significant relationship between Optimism and Subjective Well Being of employees.
