Abstract
With the advent of positive psychology movement, prominence of virtues in the organisations has been renewed. Despite the significance of employee happiness, the relationship between organisational virtuousness and happiness is understudied in Indian organisational settings. Keeping this backdrop in mind, this study aims to examine the impact of organisational virtuousness dimensions on the happiness of employees. The cross sectional survey was administered on a sample of 285 employees working in the organisations located in North India and analysed with the help of hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The findings highlighted that organisational virtuousness has a significant positive association with happiness and positive perceptions of employees regarding the virtuousness of the organisation affected their happiness at work. The findings suggest that more attention should be paid in developing and implementing positive interventions for employees in order to promote virtues at work and deriving employee happiness. Thus, the study offers practical implications for well-being of employees. Further, limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
