Job Satisfaction & Happiness in Male Employees

Abstract

This study explored the association between male employees’ job satisfaction and happiness and studied differences in these variables across public and private sectors. Data were collected using a quantitative cross-sectional approach from 150 male employees aged 21–50 years utilizing the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and the Job Satisfaction Scale. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between job satisfaction and happiness, indicating that higher job satisfaction significantly enhances overall happiness. Additionally, public sector employees exhibited significantly higher levels of job satisfaction and happiness relative to those in the private sector. The study suggests that organizations, particularly in the private sector, should prioritize supportive work environments and policies to boost employee satisfaction and happiness, ultimately enhancing productivity and retention.
