It is proven that if the metric of a K-contact manifold is generalized quasi-Einstein metric, then the manifold is of constant scalar curvature and in the case of a Sasakian manifold the metric becomes Einstein under certain restriction on the potential function. Several corollaries have been provided. Finally, we consider Sasakian 3-manifold whose metric is generalized quasi-Einstein metric.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGQE metricsAlmost contact manifoldsContact manifoldsK-contact manifoldsSasakian manifoldsArticle62348549510.5666/KMJ.2022.62.3.4852-s2.0-85141170035Q3WOS:000876227600006N/A
