“…Nielsen et al (2008) and Bataineh (2019) said that one indicator of good mental health is engaging employees at work. An employee who feels good and deals with less at work and home is more likely to experience satisfaction toward their work, which can significantly affect their well-being and organization (Koubova and Buchko, 2013;Bataineh, 2019). Therefore, maintaining the lecturer's engagement is also essential to improve their job performance and happiness level.…”

PurposeHappiness has been the most important goal for humans throughout history and is a significant issue among university lecturers facing a rapid digital technology change. It is usually described as a well-being state, feeling satisfied and contented, consisting of positive happenings in an individual’s life concerning the social, spiritual, economic, psychological, and physiological spheres. This research examines the relationship between happiness, attitudes toward technology, and lecturers’ job performance in higher education.Design and MethodologyThis research design was a cross-sectional design that asked the respondents from lecturers of Institut Teknologi Bandung, one of the best universities with technology-based education in Indonesia, to complete a group of well-validated questionnaires. The questionnaires mentioned earlier include the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and three other newly constructed questionnaires, made to measure attitude toward digital technology, job satisfaction, and job performance.FindingsThis research confirmed that happiness fully mediated the relationship between attitude toward digital technology and job performance. Additionally, this research also confirmed that happiness partially mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. These results implied that a positive attitude toward digital technology and higher job satisfaction would lead to happier lecturers who increase their job performance.OriginalityThis study suggests that a positive attitude toward technology has a higher impact than job satisfaction as determinant factors of happiness and its association with lecturers’ job performance such as universities, especially Institut Teknologi Bandung as a technologically advanced workplace environment. Additionally, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire framework, frequently used in studies of other countries, is now being used in the context of an Indonesian case study, precisely to measure happiness among lecturers in Indonesian higher education.

“…Although HRD has played a limited role in work-life conflict research, the field of HRD is deeply vested in developing learning and performance for organizational effectiveness (Swanson & Holton, 2009). Performance can be measured according to what an employee does (or does not do) to contribute to the organizational effectiveness (Bataineh, 2019). It encompasses the “full outcome or success of a person during specific periods of duty” (p.103).…”
