Happiness at the workplace refers to how satisfied people are with their work and lives. The idea of happiness is related to individual's subjective well-being. Happiness at the workplace is crucial for improving productivity in any organization. Happy people are productive people while those people who are unhappy may not pay full attention to any task. Some scholars believe that organizations which are able to maintain long-term happiness at the workplace could probably increase and sustain productivity. Therefore, they should know what factors could affect employee happiness in order to effectively enhance happiness at the workplace. But research on employee happiness was rarely seen in the past. The issue of happiness at the workplace needs to be properly conceptualized so that useful research on it could be conducted. This paper presents a potential conceptual framework of happiness at the workplace that could give valuable contribution to future research in this area.

“…(23) As mentioned above, buffers against insecurity and strain may be found in social support in the workplace, (24) and perceived employability. (25) However, the inequities of nonstandard employment are often exacerbated because those workers tend to have lower education, be in low skill occupations and lack the previously mentioned resources. (26)(27)(28) Consequently, some researchers have advocated for a greater recognition of the political, social and labour market contexts determining relationships between employment and health.…”

Objective: We explored Australian workers' experiences of nonstandard employment, how it related to health and wellbeing, and the role that Bourdieu's forms of capital (cultural, economic and social resources) played in underpinning workers' agency. Methods:Qualitative data from semistructured interviews with 32 causal workers were analysed based on framework analysis. Results: Most participants were 'deliberate casuals' who had chosen casual over permanent employment, with half of that group naming improved health and wellbeing as motivation. Those with greater access to capital felt more able to exercise choice, whereas those with fewer capital resources felt constrained to be casual. Gendered structures and labour market dynamics were also significant in shaping agency. Conclusions:Access to capital and a buoyant labour market underpinned workers' agency in Australia, enabling some to gain health and wellbeing benefits from nonstandard employment.

“…A few studies have identified additional work-related behaviors such as increased job search behavior (Adkins, Werbel, & Farh, 2001;Reisel & Banai, 2002) or safety (Probst & Brubaker, 2001). Other study by Silla et al (2008) suggests that job insecurity related to poor well-being.…”
