Abstract

Happiness in the workplace is essential for fostering a positive and productive environment, making it a key focus for organizations seeking to enhance employee well-being. This paper aims to explore the relationship between happiness and employees' well-being, highlighting the critical role these concepts play in professional settings. The motivation behind this study lies in the significance of understanding the multifaceted nature of happiness and its implications for individuals' overall well-being, particularly in their work lives. The methodology employed for this research involved conducting a comprehensive literature review to gather relevant scholarly articles and studies. The findings revealed that while authentic happiness theory focuses primarily on subjective feelings of happiness, well-being theory incorporates multiple dimensions, including positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishment. The contribution of this study lies in synthesizing and comparing these two theories, highlighting their similarities and differences. Additionally, key factors influencing happiness, such as positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, were identified and discussed. This paper provides a holistic perspective on happiness and well-being, emphasizing the importance of considering various elements to achieve a comprehensive understanding of human flourishing, particularly within the workplace. The insights gained from this research can inform future studies and interventions aimed at promoting happiness and well-being among individuals and within organizational settings.
