“…Wan and Chan (2013) found during their research that casino employees have a desire for more leisure time during their work shifts to be able to concentrate for long periods of times, which reflects the demand and intensity of their jobs. Wagner et al (2014) mentioned that various studies have already found that different ways of spending one's leisure time affect your psychological and subjective well-being. Lu and Argyle concluded that leisure satisfaction correlates with happiness and that the social aspects of leisure satisfaction predict happiness in the long run.…”

“…The study of Veenhoven (2011) postulates that there is currently a gap in academic literature that is related to happiness; for this reason, a great deal of research is currently taking place in order to understand why some people are happier than others and also to find ways in which to make people happier. Wagner et al (2014) also mentioned that knowledge of the way in which one could achieve happiness and the outcomes that this will have in the different life domains such as family and leisure will contribute significantly to the body of research of people's well-being. Wan and Chan (2013) commented that in our ever-changing and fast-paced society, determining what makes employees feel satisfied about their working life is vital for human relations practitioners.…”

Orientation: Associations between a person’s character strengths, happiness and well-being can be explained with the overlap that they have with personality. Casino employees’ working hours were and are increasing, which means that their leisure time is decreasing concomitantly, with only 20 hours per week being used in pursuit of leisure activities.Research purpose: The primary purpose of this research was to investigate 1502 casino employees’ personality types and the relationship it has on their leisure life and overall happiness.Motivation for the study: The importance of leisure participation and time to take part in leisure activities, and the effect it has on casino employees’ happiness in the workplace, warrants further investigation. If human resources managers and general management want happier casino employees in the workplace, they should focus on their personality types and make more leisure activities available to them; which will result in a happier workforce.Research design, approach and method: The target population consisted of 3032 casino employees, who received the questionnaires and were given the opportunity to complete the questionnaires anonymously. An availability sampling technique was used, based on the number of casino employees who were willing and available to complete the questionnaires.Main findings and practical/managerial implications: In terms of the structural equation modelling, it was found that the positive personalities such as extraversion and openness to experience correlated well with leisure life and happiness. In this study, the standardised regression weights showed that if an individual has a negative personality, he or she will not necessarily be unhappy. A positive relationship was found between positive personality traits such as cooperativeness and agreeableness and leisure life and happiness. Considering mediation effects, leisure preference was the greatest partial mediator between happiness and personalities.Contribution: Human resource managers of casino establishments can use these results to determine the type of personality of casino employees that will experience a good leisure life and happiness in relation to the workplace, contributing to positive psychology and human resource literature. Keywords: Casino employees; employee benefits; feelings toward the company; happiness; human resource management

“…In a society experiencing rapid economic development, people tend to pay more attention to immediate happiness and satisfaction without sufficiently focusing on the meaning of life. Moreover, middle school students are in a period of immature emotional regulation and self-control, and thus their pursuit of short-term happiness may increase their maladjustment and impulsive behavior (Wagner et al, 2014 ). Some studies have thus found a significant relationship between happiness orientation and addictive behavior (Yang et al, 2016 ), but few attempts have been made to explore the influence mechanism of happiness orientation on middle school students’ learning burnout and IAR.…”

This study explored how self-control and eudaimonic orientation are associated with learning burnout and internet addiction risk (IAR). Our results demonstrate that learning burnout has a significant and positive impact on IAR. The impulse system and control system play parallel mediating roles in the relationship between learning burnout and IAR. The relationship between learning burnout and IAR is moderated by eudaimonic orientation. Finally, the mediating role of the impulse system on learning burnout and IAR is moderated by eudaimonic orientation. With these findings, our study clarifies the mediating roles of the impulse system and control system in learning burnout and IAR and the moderating effects of hedonic orientation and eudaimonic orientation. Our study not only offers a new perspective for IAR research but also has practical implications for intervening in middle school students’ IAR.
