“…These findings concurred with the past studies by Rojas (2008). According to Trung et al (2012), Malaysian people said higher income did not increase happiness thus, made their happiness lower compared to the lowest quintile of income. As highlighted by Diener and Tov (2012) that income had a greater impact on subjective well-being in poor societies because basic needs were highly salient and the relation between income and happiness was reduced among wealthier nations (Diener et al, 1993).…”

The paper aims to examine the income poverty status and compare it with the well-being level between different groups among vulnerable households. Vulnerable households for this study were households that consists at least one of the following criteria: income poor, elderly person, single mothers and/or disabled person. Data was taken from the Official Poverty Line Survey conducted in four Malaysian cities representing each region in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 286 households were conveniently selected. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, correlation tests were applied in data analysis. Findings indicated significant differences in household percapita income (HHPCI) among income poverty status groups and significant differences in well-being among different status of income poverty, whereby the non-poor had the highest mean in both (HHPCI & well-being). Also the mean well-being for poor and potential poor groups were much lower than the hardcore poor group. Further results revealed a positive but small relationship between household percapita income and well-being among vulnerable households. Finally, the findings indicated significant differences between income poor status groups and different level in well-being poor groups. It was possible for people to get out of income poverty while remaining in well-being deprivation (ill-being). Findings from this study provide evidences and enhance understanding in income poverty, well-being and correlates of both especially among vulnerable households.

“…Therefore, the most important aspect in this sense is significantly related to the warmness of family, attending and participating in communities' activities, and cultural values. There is consistent with the study of Trung (2013), who believed that cultural value positively affects people happiness and satisfaction especially in East Asia. Moreover, it is also consistent to the study of Ruchiwit (2013) which mentioned that one of the factors predicting the wellbeing of Laotians has been their attitudes toward their society and its cultural values.…”

Although material resources are insufficient, wellbeing becomes a promise concept which leads to an argument that wellbeing is a socially and culturally defined concept. Therefore, wellbeing can be varied with many different perspectives whose definition is challenged. This paper proposes to explore the local notion of wellbeing within the social cultural contexts of Lao PDR. The study adopted a qualitative method, 35 representatives of the households participated in the focus group discussion in Sangthong district, and 15 key informants were in-depth interviewed. The content analysis and triangular technique were employed for data analysis and reviewing. This study argues that to develop the measurement of development should include the wellbeing of social and cultural dimension. The result shows that the notion of wellbeing's meaning in local Lao people conception are comprised of seven dimensions, including family; society; health; education; security, leader and public management; environment; and economic dimension. This finding suggests that the social cultural construction of wellbeing should be considered a form of work to develop the measurement of development in Laos by including the social and cultural wellbeing.

“…However, people in each region (e.g. Asia and Europe) or in each culture have their own philosophy of happiness (Schwartz, 2007;Trung, Cheong, Nghi, & Kim, 2013). This paper presents a conceptual framework which is composed of independent variables (employment status, income, friendship, and work activities), dependent variable (happiness at the workplace), and moderating variable (cultural values) (see Figure 1).…”

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.
