Introduction: Mental health at work has become a major issue in modern organizations. Professional recognition and employee well-being are essential factors influencing motivation and productivity. Objective: To study the impact of recognition and well-being on employee motivation and performance. Methods: This descriptive study used a mixed-method approach combining a literature review and a questionnaire survey among 30 employees from different professional sectors. Results: The majority of participants were women (64.5%), aged between 20 and 30 years (38.7%), married (54.8%), and had a university-level education (87.1%). Approximately 54.8% reported feeling recognized at work, while 45.2% felt they received no recognition. A large proportion (83.3%) believed that a lack of recognition negatively impacts productivity. The main factors influencing well-being were working conditions (74.2%), professional relationships (67.7%), and work–life balance (67.7%). Finally, 77.4% stated that motivation is strongly linked to recognition and well-being. Conclusion Recognition and well-being are essential drivers of professional performance. Their integration into organizational policies could improve both employee satisfaction and overall productivity.
