This article presents a systematic literature review of employee well-being research conducted in the contextof Uzbekistan between 2017 and 2025. Following major economic and institutional reforms initiated under the NewUzbekistan Development Strategy, the country has undergone significant transformations in its labour market, includingthe adoption of the new Labour Code in 2023, large-scale privatisation of state-owned enterprises, expansion of thehigher education sector, and growing digitalisation of the economy. Despite these wide-ranging changes, scholarly attentionto this issue is still developing and offers important opportunities for further research. This review maps existingUzbekistan-focused studies against the PERMA+4 framework, which encompasses positive emotions, engagement, relationships,meaning, accomplishment, physical health, mindset, work environment, and economic security. The analysisreveals that research to date has focused mainly on work-life balance in the banking and information technology sectors,while several promising directions for future research can be identified in areas such as workplace mental health, public-sector employee well-being, burnout, and the experiences of workers in the informal economy. The article concludesby proposing a five-pillar national research agenda aimed at guiding future scholarship and informing evidence-basedworkplace policy in Uzbekistan.
