“…Most of the respondents are lecturers; therefore, the student's achievement is one of the factors that brings satisfaction and happiness to them. This finding is parallel with a study on teachers in Ramhormoz city and Hungarian teachers (Arora, 2020;Jalali & Heidari, 2016;Kun & Gadanecz, 2019;Zakaria et al, 2021).…”

“…Teachers will be happier when their students show any improvement in terms of studies, attitude, and behaviour. A study done by Zakaria et al (2021) demonstrated that teachers' happiness is greatly influenced by comfortable, healthy, and happy conditions. In another study, happiness and well-being are proved to be the indicators that can increase the employees' job performance (Jalali & Heidari, 2016).…”

This article covers the main indicators that affect employees' happiness in higher learning institutions. Scientific research has demonstrated that employees' happiness significantly contributes to the productivity and success of an organization. Motivated by the importance of strengthening positive emotions among employees through better culture, policy, standard operating procedure (SOP), and infrastructure in an organization, this study examined the factors that influence employees' happiness in Malaysian institutions of higher learning (IHL). The study adopted the PERMAIg model of happiness as it is the most suitable framework to be used in the Malaysian context. Data were obtained from respondents from private and public IHLs in Malaysia using a quantitative survey method (n = 291) throughout a cross-sectional period of time, i.e., from January to March 2021. The result shows all five (5) of the key domains positively influenced employees' happiness. They are employees' emotion management, engagement, achievement, infrastructure, and gratitude. The findings show that the key factors affecting employees' happiness in Malaysian IHLs include their relationships with family members, support from colleagues, student achievement, health, a safe work environment, and a sense of gratitude towards their job. Meanwhile, the causes of unhappiness are mainly related to the work process, a lack of recognition, and superiors' dishonest behaviour. Subsequent qualitative analysis has enabled the study to produce three (3) recommendations to enhance employees' happiness in the Malaysian IHLs, which are: (i) every work process and procedure, such as the claim process, teaching and learning process, and administrative procedures, must be helping the employees and not burdening them; (ii) it is imperative to implement a clear understanding of each process and procedure's purpose; and (iii) improve infrastructure, particularly the cafeteria, recreational facility, computer maintenance, and toilets. This gives stakeholders the information they may use to plan for future advancements and comprehend the current situation affecting the employees' happiness. For comparative analysis purposes and to determine best practises for boosting

“…Therefore, it can be said that the ethical behaviors preferred by the principals in the management process are important for the high level of organizational health in schools. Teachers' well-being in terms of social needs is very essential for school organizations, especially regarding the social relationships between teachers and colleagues, and the social responsibility of a teacher [21]- [23]. It was found that [24] from among the organizational health subdimensions, initiating structure (IS) was more frequently realized, while the academic emphasis (AE) subdimension was less frequently realized and 50% of the teachers were exposed to bullying.…”

<span lang="EN-US">This study examined the factor structure of the Organizational Health Inventory (OHI) scale among Omani teachers. There were four factors assumed to represent the OHI (principal influence, academic emphasis, morale, and initiating integrity). Testing the scale reliability was another aim of this study. A random sample (n=458) of Omani teachers was considered. The short version of the scale has 30 items. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the sample data. The model is good fitted to the data. Across gender, the invariance of the structure was tested, and the parameters of the model were invariant. Consequently, the two genders were compared via multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with gender as an independent variable and subscales. The female teachers were found to more likely show principal influence, academic emphasis, and morale than the male teachers, who instead, were more efficacious than the female teachers in dealing with institutional integrity.</span>
