“…While some studies equate happiness with well-being (Kahneman, 1999;Swami, 2008;Lauriola and Iani, 2017;Katsumi et al, 2021;Yukhymenko-Lescroart and Sharma, 2022), some researchers suggest that happiness equals to subjective well-being (Ryan and Deci, 2001;Diener et al, 2018). Furthermore, another perspective assumes well-being as similar to subjective happiness (Ballas and Tranmer, 2012;Wong and Yuen, 2022). As the diversity and multi-faceted perspectives of the studies indicate, the lines between these two constructs are blurred.…”

PurposeThe study aims to understand how corporate social responsibility (CSR) and happiness are used together in various research studies to serve the ultimate goal of corporate sustainability (CS), which in turn contributes to sustainable development.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) was made using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) method in the two most-reputable databases of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, revealing a final list of 54 studies to analyse.FindingsThe review concludes that the literature on CSR and happiness provides three main findings: first, concerning the pillars of sustainability, most of the studies concentrate on people, neglecting the planet and profit, second, employees are subject to the highest number of studies as the target of CSR initiative and third, almost all studies employed the hedonic aspect of happiness in CSR literature.Research limitations/implicationsThis particular research finding points to the need for developing a comprehensive framework to assess stakeholder happiness from both hedonic and eudaimonic aspects from a CSR perspective which is then represented under the three pillars of sustainability.Practical implicationsTo contribute to the ultimate goal of CS, management would design CSR initiatives for all stakeholders to increase both hedonic and eudaimonic happiness of them.Originality/valueThe literature provides reviews of research in CSR and happiness separately; however, there is not any research revealing how these two concepts are used together in studies and how this association could be read to serve the goal of CS.

“…Happiness is a subjective assessment of one's life (Touburg & Veenhoven, 2015;Islam et al, 2023). Perceptions of happiness refer to people's beliefs and perceptions about the nature and experience of happiness (Wong & Yuen, 2023). The literature on well-being and quality of life addresses happiness since it has been connected to mental and physical health, longevity, and mortality (Boehm & Kubzansky, 2012).…”

The European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) is a tool that assesses quality of life across different aspects. Monitoring the quality-of-life indicators in times of crisis and post-crisis is crucial for human resource management as the quality-of-life indicators provide valuable insights into the well-being and needs of employees. The study aimed to examine the impact of social and economic changes on the selected quality of life areas of the EU population by analyzing data from the ESQL of 2016 and 2020. It was found that the average EU life satisfaction score went down. In 2020, the EU optimism average dropped when compared to 2016. According to 2020 survey data, EU citizens found coping with life’s challenges harder than in 2016. The EU average regarding the difficulty of dealing with essential issues in life increased by 1.5% in 2020 compared to 2016. The time needed to get back to normality after some mishaps was also investigated. The EU average regarding subjective feelings of tension rose by 7.4%. In comparison to 2016, depression and downheartedness grew stronger across the EU nations and the EU average in 2020. The average value increased by 6.8%. The changes may provide insights into the effects of social and economic trends on people’s well-being across Europe.

This study has conducted a questionnaire survey on 600 people with disabilities and 600 healthy people, compared their psychological characteristics, and examined the mediating effects of perceived social support and happiness on the relationship between family functioning and social avoidance and distress among people with disabilities, as well as whether this process is moderated by self-esteem. The results reveal that there are significant differences between people with disabilities and healthy people in terms of happiness and self-esteem; perceived social support and happiness have multiple mediating effects on the relationship between family functioning of people with disabilities and their social avoidance and distress; and the mediating effect of perceived social support is moderated by self-esteem, and self-esteem moderates the latter half path of the mediating process of family functioning - perceived social support - social avoidance and distress. Therefore, the impacts of family functioning of people with disabilities on their social avoidance and distress is a moderated mediating model. The findings from the study are of theoretical and practical significance for improving social skills of people with disabilities.
