HAPPINESS AT WORKPLACE: JOB
SATISFACTION AND
ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT
3. Introduction
Performance of organization or company also plays an important role in
determining the success of company (Almatrooshi, Singh & Farouk, 2016;
Kosasih, 2017,2018; Vintila & Nenu, 2015). The measure performance of an
organization or company also reflects how much the ability of organization or
company utilize its human resources.
The importance of human resources then makes organization or company
must be able to determine the goals of organization or company while also
paying attention to achievement of the needs of its employees, especially the
happiness at workplace (Anggraini, 2018; Gavin & Mason, 2004; Kasemsap,
2015).
Therefore, happiness at workplace is an important issue in this study.
Happy employees will work with dedication and totality, which in turn will have
an impact on productivity (Fisher, 2010; Wulandari & Widyastuti, 2014).
4. Everyone, including employees, always wants happiness in his
life (Diener, 2000). Carr (2004) argues that happiness is related
to the level of individual satisfaction in several domain of life:
family, work, arrangement and affective experience.
Vandenberhge (2011) states that work is one dimension in
increasing happiness. Therefore, work plays a role both
directly and indirectly in increasing individual happiness.
The Great Place to Work Institute also state that work happiness
is influenced by several aspects: trust in the work
environment, self-respect in the workplace and comfort in
the workplace (Fisher, 2010).
5. There are many factors that are closely related to
employee job satisfaction, In this case, job satisfaction
can be seen from four indicators: (1) response to
work (2) response to colleagues and superiors (3)
response to the work environment (4) response to
reward system (Greenberg & Baron, 2011; Kreitner &
Kinicki, 2012; Luthans, 2010).
6. Performance is the willingness of individuals or
groups of people to carry out an activity and
complete it according to their responsibilities and
with the expected results. A proportional feedback
system needs to be created to improve employee
performance so that it can be more optimal (Gregory
& Levy, 2012; Mayfield & Mayfield, 2011; Omar, et
al. 2016)
7. In a study conducted by Haryono (2012), it was
stated that employees need a conducive work
environment to improve their performance.
Without the support of a conducive work
environment, employees will lose motivation. So,
employees expect other benefits from the
company, such as appreciation for work
performance, career development, a harmonious
working atmosphere, and managerial support
(Permarupan, 2012; Omollo, 2015; Njuguna &
Muathe S.M.A., 2016).
