Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report on the results of a study that sought to establish the mediating role of flow experience in the relationship between psychological needs satisfaction and happiness at the workplace, specifically within the context of public hospitals in Uganda. A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving a sample of 800 professional nurses. Findings reveal that flow experience partially mediates in the connection between psychological needs satisfaction and workplace happiness. Limitations include; the use of a mono-research methodological approach, suggesting opportunities for future research through interviews to triangulate findings. By way of practical implications, the study explicates the psychological needs of the healthcare professionals examined and contributes to a more positive work environment and consequently, higher levels of workplace happiness. Keywords: psychological needs satisfaction, happiness at work, professional nurses, health services, flow experience, and positive emotions
