Abstract: Abstract The affective well-being of employees is significant in today’s fast-paced lifestyle in the post-pandemic era, as it results in many benefits, including work-related and health-related benefits. It is known that the positive reflection of work predicts the affective well-being of employees. However, the optimal ways of strengthening the relationship between these variables in contemporary working conditions are yet to be explored. Drawing on border theory and implicit theories, this research analyzes the role of work contact and growth mindset in the relationship between positive work reflection and affective well-being. In addition, this study proposes a three-way interaction among positive work reflection, work contact, and growth mindset in predicting the affective well-being of employees. Responses were collected from employees working in IT firms. After screening, 309 valid samples were obtained. From the analysis, it was found that a higher level of work contact moderates the relationship between positive work reflection and the affective well-being of employees with a growth mindset. Alternatively, a medium level of work contact moderates the above relationship for both types of mindset (growth and fixed mindset) among employees.
