Methods: The statistical population consisted of all students of Qom universities.

The subjects were randomly selected and assigned to the experimental and control groups by convenience sampling technique. To conduct the Pre-test and post-test, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale were used. The test group members attended the choice theory education program weekly for 5 consecutive weeks, whereas the control group received no treatment. Results: After implementing the post-test, the collected data were analyzed using the Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS. The findings indicated that treatment program effectively increased the test group members' happiness (F=213.53, P<0.0005) and self-esteem (F=0.52, P<0.0005). Conclusion: The principles of choice theory can be implemented among graduate students to promote their happiness and self-esteem; in turn, it may lead to educational and social achievements.

This aim of the study is to examine the varying functions of basic needs satisfaction in predicting happiness, self-esteem, and creative personality among university students using a choice theory-based perspective. A sample of 1100 university students completed self-report scales of happiness, self- esteem, creative personality, and University Students’ Basic Needs Scale. Multiple regression analysis revealed that satisfying the need for survival, freedom, fun or entertainment, love and belonging, contribute to self-esteem and happiness among university students. Furthermore, satisfying the need for freedom, power, entertainment, love and belonging, contribute to creative personality. The findings provided supportive evidence for the major hypothesis of the choice theory, demonstrating that happiness increases as the satisfaction of basic needs increases. Furthermore, the basic needs satisfaction contributes to self-esteem and creative personality.

Bu çalışmada öz-sayı ve öz-yeterliliğin prososyal hizmet davranışı üzerindeki etkisinde mutluluğun düzenleyici rolü incelenmektedir. Araştırma kapsamında bireylerim kendilerine yönelik öz eleştiri ve kendi yeteneklerine yönelik olan inancının topluma fayda sağlamaya yönelik güdüleriyle birleşerek işgörenlerin çalışma arkadaşlarına karşı yardımcı olmaya yönelik davranışlarını şekillendireceği, işgörenlerin mutluluk duygusunun bu süreçte anlamlı rol üstleneceği varsayılmıştır. Araştırma amacı kapsamında Çanakkale ilinde yer alan büyük ölçekli işletmelerde çalışmakta olan 108 beyaz yakalı çalışandan anket tekniği ile veriler elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere uç değer analizi, normallik testi, açıklayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi yapılmış yapısal eşitlik modeliyle hipotezler test edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda anlamlı bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, öz-saygı ve öz-yeterliliğin prososyal hizmet davranışı üzerindeki etkisinde mutluluğun düzenleyici rol üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir.
