This study therefore, assesses the implication of physical well-being on satisfaction and performance of employees’ in selected hotels in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria. This study utilizes a quantitative research method by distributing an online questionnaire through the use of Google Form. Convenience sampling method was employed to choose four (4) hotels in Akure that are regarded as part of the top 20 hotels in the city with the total of 120 respondents selected across the hotels. The regression analysis results indicate that physical wellbeing (R2 = 0.577; t= 12.696; p= 0.000) accounts for 57.7% of the total variance, demonstrating a strong relationship in determining job satisfaction. It was also found that physical wellbeing (R2 = 0.637; t= 14.397; p= 0.000) account for 63.7% of the total variance which is a high coefficient in the determination of employee performance. This study concluded that physical well-being has a positive significant influence on employee satisfaction and job performance. Therefore, it is recommended that organisations should provide extensive healthcare benefits to tackle their employees' health-related concerns. Organisations ought to implement wellness reimbursements and exercise subsidies for every employee as an integral component of their wellness program to enhance physical wellbeing.
