“…Researchers did not come up with any instrument that reveal teachers' organizational happiness in terms of both affective and cognitive aspects. Thus, adapting Well-being at Work Scale developed by Demo and Paschoal (2013) to Turkish was decided. The purpose of this study is adapting Well-being at Work Scale to Turkish, and analyzing the validity and reliability of the questionnaire.…”

“…Thus, there are items both related with emotions at work and actualizing one's potential. Items related with humor, positive and negative affect are obtained from Subjective Well-Being Scale of Albuquerque andTroccoli (2004, cited in Demo andPaschoal, 2013), PANAS (Watson et al, 1988), and Life Satisfaction Scale (Diener et al, 1985). Finally, there are 38 items about emotions at work in the item pool.…”

This study aimed to adapt Well-Being at Work Scale developed by Demo and Paschoal (2013) to Turkish, and to reveal the validity and reliability of Turkish form. With this aim, items were translated from English to Turkish first, then this version was translated to English back. At the next phase, the consistency between backtranslation form and original version was evaluated, and it was seen that there are not any semantic loss and semantic changes. Then, a pilot study was conducted with 18 teachers who are studying MA in educational administration. The final form was generated according to their feedbacks and approval of field specialists, and data were gathered from 342 teachers who were working at various educational stages in Kocaeli Province. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to test construct validity. It was seen that results showed acceptable fit indices, and three-factored model confirmed. Likewise, the internal consistency coefficients of the entire scale and the sub-dimensions were acceptable. These findings showed that the Turkish version of Well-Being at Work Scale has acceptable psychometric properties.

Bu amaç doğrultusunda, ölçek maddeleri önce Türkçeye çevrilmiş, sonra maddelerin İngilizceye geri çevirisi yapılmıştır. Bir sonraki aşamada ise geri çeviri sonucu elde edilen form ile ölçeğin İngilizce versiyonu arasındaki tutarlılık incelenmiş, herhangi bir anlam kaybı ya da değişikliği olmadığı görüldükten sonra eğitim yönetimi alanında tezsiz yüksek lisans eğitimine devam eden 18 öğretmenle deneme uygulaması yapılmıştır. Alınan dönütlere göre ve alan uzmanlarının onayı sonrasında son hali oluşturulan ölçek formu ile Kocaeli ilindeki okulların farklı kademelerinde çalışan 342 öğretmenden veri toplanmıştır. Yapı geçerliliğini sınamak için uygulanan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) sonucunda ölçeğin uyum indekslerinin yeterli düzeyde olduğu görülmüş ve orijinal versiyondaki üç faktörlü yapı doğrulanmıştır. Ayrıca alt boyutlar ve ölçeğin tamamı için hesaplanan iç tutarlık katsayılarının yeterli düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgular, ÖMÖ'nün Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerinin uygun olduğunu göstermektedir.Anahtar sözcükler: Örgütsel mutluluk, öğretmen mutluluğu, ölçek geliştirme

“…Additionally, some researchers regard the dichotomy in the wellbeing perspective as unfavorable to the understanding of widespread and complex phenomena such as well-being ( [15], [16]). Keyes [15] argues that well-being is a complete mental health that must be understood as an inseparable unity.…”

“…Therefore, wellbeing includes a complete dimension and combination of emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. Subjective wellbeing expresses emotional experience, while others refer to long-term growth and actualization processes, therefore both experiences should be evaluated together ( [16], [17]). …”

Abstract-The role of working mothers can be understood as dualism role, namely family role and working role that has to be done simultaneously. Internalization of patriarchal culture makes domestic role on women cannot be ignored even by a mother who works and achieves their career outside of their home. On the other side, there are more women occupying a higher structural position in the organization. Therefore, career development of working mothers can be very complex and cannot be understood separately with the family relationship. The purpose of this research is to obtain a deeper understanding of the concept of career well-being for working mothers. A qualitative study is conducted on three working mothers as the respondents. In expressing the career well-being, this research explores the career experience of the working mothers since the beginning. This research also explores an emotional and behavioral aspect of the respondent against their career experience over the past five years. The result obtained indicate that career wellbeing on the research subject include emotional, psychological, social wellbeing and the relationship wellbeing between family roles.

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices that focus on employees, with an increasing emphasis on investigating employees' experiences of CSR in relation to their happiness. The purpose of this study is to explore employee‐centric CSR initiatives with the aim of identifying the elements stimulating happiness at work (HAW). To accomplish this, we adopt a non‐linear and data‐driven approach to analyze self‐reported data from 441 employees across 21 small and medium‐sized enterprises spanning various industries. The analysis brings to light 5 E(lements) of employee‐centric CSR: envisioning, related to personal and organizational value orientation; equity, related to definition and distribution of rewards; empowerment, related to career development and professional growth; experimentation, related to innovative tasks and organizational forms; and empathy, related to a supportive workplace and coworkers' network. These 5 E(lements) serve as stimuli for HAW in different ways: envisioning, empowerment, and experimentation play a major role in promoting employees' happiness and underscore the importance of initiatives related to shared values, inclusivity, and innovative work practices. Thus, this study sheds light on the influence of employee‐centric CSR in promoting HAW and on effective strategies that may contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals targets.
