Abstract

Various researchers have study different antecedents and their relationships with Happiness at the Workplace. However, little is known how aspect of spirituality influence happiness at workplace. Thus, this study examines the relationship between spirituality, workplace and individual and HAW. The present study examined the relationship of WPS (inner life, Meaningful Work, and sense of community) and IS (religious belief, religious practices, and religious, social support) towards HAW among TVET instructors. The study utilizes a survey approach employing a set of standardized questionnaires via Google Form. The sample comprises 122 respondents from a Public TVET institution in Sarawak. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Ver 26.0, employing Pearson correlation and multiple regression. The findings of this study demonstrate that inner life, meaningful work, a sense of community, religious belief, religious practice, and religious-social support all contribute significantly to HAW. This study shows that when there is an increase in the WPS and IS, it will increase the HAW of an employee. Thus, the organization should improve facilities to provide the instructors with a conducive praying room and social spaces to come together socially. The employers should also promote Long-Life Learning in terms of Religiosity among TVET instructors and doing more religious-related programs to increase the level of happiness among instructors. They should promote volunteering events as a responsibility to society and recognize employees actively participating in religious and social activities.
