Thus, study further revealed that psychological empowerment also positively influences work engagement and happiness (Bhatnagar, 2012;Joo et al, 2016;Pradhan et al, 2017). We also found that learned helplessness negatively moderates psychological empowerment and outcome variables, i.e.…”

“…Joo et al (2016) argued that indicators of psychological empowerment such as self-determination, meaning, competence and abilities influence the well-being. But there is a lack of studies showing the relationship between psychological empowerment and happiness with an exception of Pradhan et al (2017), who argued that psychological empowerment was positively contributing to happiness of the employees. According to COR theory, resources at workplace can be physical and emotional.…”

“…Therefore, it is imperative that a cognizant decision is made every time before displaying compassionate behavior regarding whether the receiver is in a distressful situation enough for calling display of compassion and whether our actions will serve the purpose of alleviating suffering. In line with the earlier research conducted on happiness and its associated outcomes (Pradhan et al, 2017), this research brings forth a fresh viewpoint for human resource practitioners for enhancing happiness at work and sustaining a positive work environment by executing training programs designed to develop compassion for others in order to realize thriving positive organizations.…”

Drawing on positive activity model ( Lyubomirsky & Layous, 2013 ), the present study aims to examine the relationship of employees’ compassion for others and the level of workplace happiness whilst investigating mediating mechanism of positive affectivity. The study further explores the role of perceived organizational support (POS) in bolstering the happiness of the employees. Using the purposive sampling technique, a sample of the Indian working population ( N = 422) was selected for the study. Standardized instruments were administered to the respondents for data collection. Structural equation modeling findings revealed that the employees who showed more compassion toward others experienced a higher level of happiness at work. The results indicated that the positive emotions acted as a significant mediator in this relationship. The PROCESS macro analysis showed that the POS moderated the link between compassion and workplace happiness for the employees in a positive direction. The study highlights the importance of performing intentional positive activities for the better well-being of the employees. The implications of the study in terms of practicing positive psychology for creating thriving modern organizations are discussed.

“…In the fourth hypothesis, we expand upon previous research on organizational happiness to examine the indirect relationship between job crafting and work engagement. This research addresses the idea, put forth by scholars such as Bakker et al (2012), Çayak(2021) and Pradhan et al (2017) that organizational happiness needs to be examined as a mediator between other organizational antecedents and consequences. The results of H4 provide evidence for a partial mediation effect of organizational happiness between job crafting and work engagement.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between job crafting and work engagement and the potential mediating effect of organizational happiness on this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 256 full-time employees from various industries such as automobiles, retail, real estate, petrochemicals, investment, industrial and education, working at top 50 Forbes Middle East companies in UAE, were surveyed to gather data on job crafting, organizational happiness and work engagement. The study used an empirical research design, with data collected through surveys. Findings The results of this study, obtained through a two-step structural equation modelling approach, indicate that job crafting has a positive and direct influence on both organizational happiness and work engagement. The findings also suggest that the relationship between job crafting and work engagement is partially mediated by organizational happiness. Practical implications The findings emphasize the need for human resources (HR) professionals to develop programmes and training workshops focused on cultivating these concepts, particularly as remote and blended working arrangements become more prevalent. In addition, the study highlights the global impact of employee disengagement on financial losses and stresses the importance of revising HR policies in the UAE to mitigate potential risks. Lastly, the study suggests that enhancing happiness and reducing disengagement can be achieved through training managers and employees in task structuring techniques, emphasizing the teachability of job crafting skills through interventions that align tasks with employees’ interests. Originality/value To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study to theoretically explore and empirically test a proposed model on the relationships between job crafting, organizational happiness and work engagement in the context of the UAE.
