“…The term of subjective happiness is an interchangeable term with "subjective well-being," "psychological well-being," "life satisfaction" or "quality of life" (Kırımlı, 2019). Therefore, different dimensions of workplace happiness have significantly contributed to the realization of new ideas and promotion of new ideas (Kanesan et al, 2016). Wang et al (2017) in his research highlighted that effective role of individual is linked to his emotions which promotes innovative behavior in management practices through harmonious atmosphere, communication platform and well-established learning plans to enhance individual innovation ability.…”

This paper aims to empirically investigate the mediating mechanism of life satisfaction and subjective happiness between Islamic work ethics – innovative work behavior (IWB) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Design/methodology/approach The sample comprised 296 employees and 58 head of departments (HODs) of top 11 business schools in Pakistan. The data of the study were collected in three waves and from two different sources (faculty members and their HODs) through questionnaire. The statistical technique SEM analysis was applied to inspect the proposed direct and mediating hypotheses. Findings Taken together, the findings revealed that Islamic work ethics (IWE) improves quality of life and by following IWE at workplace, employees feel pleasure and show satisfaction from life. The results supported the mediating role of both life satisfaction and subjective happiness between IWE-IWB and IWE-OCB. Practical implications This study provides practical insight that Islamic business ethics plays an important role at workplace and improves quality of life and individual behavior. Originality/value The current research is unique, as it empirically investigates the mechanism quality of life phenomena which connects IWE and individual behavior (innovative and citizenship). The mechanism quality of life is less studied, and therefore this study fills the gap of scant literature.

“…The results of this study are expected to provide useful information to the faculty and university management to delegate a less burdensome scope of work and appropriate programs among lecturers (Tambi and Awang, 2019). Abdullah et al, (2016) indicate that there are four dimensions of workplace happiness that have correlations with the behaviour of teachers' innovation which are teacher contribution, school climate, teacher belief and the involvement of teachers even though the dimension of teacher belief was found not have to any contact with the behavior of teacher innovation. However, Abdullah et al, (2016) stated that the elements of contribution, belief and confidence of teachers will affect the teachers' happiness in the workplace.…”

This preliminary study was conducted to examine and verify the validity and reliability of the instrument on the Malaysian Academician Happiness Index (MAHI) on resilience. MAHI could be seen as a tool to measure the level of happiness and stress of academicians before determining how resilient the academicians were. Resilience can be defined as a mental ability of a person to recover quickly from illness or depression. MAHI instrument consisted of 66 items. The instrument was distributed to 40 academicians from three groups of universities which were the Focus University, Comprehensive University and Research University is using a survey technique. The instrument was developed to measure three main constructs which were the organization, individual and social that would affect the happiness and stress levels of academicians. This preliminary study employed the Rasch Measurement Model uses Winsteps software version 3.69.1.11. to examine the validity and reliability of the items. The results of the analysis of the MAHI instrument showed that the item reliability was 0.87, person reliability was 0.83 and value of Alpha Cronbach was 0.84. Meanwhile, misfit analysis showed that only there was one item with 1.46 logit that could be considered for dropping or needed improvement. Therefore, it highlighted that most of the items met the constructs’ need and can be used as a measurement indicator of MAHI. The implication of this instrument can help Malaysian academicians to be more resilient in facing challenges in the future.
