Nutritional Status and Physical Exercise Are Associated with Cognitive Function in Chinese Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The Role of Happiness.

We aim to assess the relationship between nutrition status, physical exercise, and cognitive function and particularly examine how happiness modifies and mediates the relationship, among 699 seniors aged 60 and above in Shanghai, China. Linear regression models were used to validate the effects of nutrition and exercise on cognitive function and to test their interaction effects with happiness. When the interactions were significant, stratified analyses in sub-groups were conducted. Mediation effects of happiness were examined using two-step causal mediation models. We confirmed that better nutrition (p < 0.001) and exercise (p = 0.009) were significantly associated with less cognitive decline. Furthermore, the effects of nutrition and exercise on cognitive decline were significant in the unhappy (happiness < 20) (p < 0.001) and younger (age < 74) sub-groups (p = 0.015). Happiness partially mediated 11.5% of the negative association of cognitive decline with nutrition (p = 0.015) and 23.0% of that with exercise (p = 0.017). This study suggests that happiness moderates and partially mediates the effects of exercise and nutrition on cognitive status. The beneficial effects of exercise and nutrition were stronger in less happy or younger seniors. Future intervention studies are required to confirm this path relationship.

Neurotransmitters and Tourism Happiness: Unraveling the Link between Brain Chemistry and Tourist Experience

Neurotransmitters, hormones that regulate emotions and sensations, play a crucial role in happiness. Chemicals, released as hormones in the bloodstream, trigger emotions and sensationsin the human body, affecting mood and emotions influenced by both external and internal factors. Travel, a trend that promotes active health and quality of life, involves activities like sightseeing, hiking, and socializing. These activities help reduce stress, anxiety, and boredom, promoting overall well-being and mental health. Travel &amp; tourism can create memorable experiences that stimulate happiness, during travel reducing tension and anxiety and enhancing overall well-being. Engaging in activities that stimulate happiness hormones can alleviate strain and angst while enhancing mental health.

The Role of Happiness at Work in Moderating the Effect of Work Engage-ment and Organizational Justice on Innovative Work Behaviour of Region SCA in Indonesia

Purpose – The purpose of this study was to analyse the direct influence, work involvement, organizational justice, and happiness at work on the innovative work behaviour of the State Civil Apparatus (SCA), and also the role of happiness at work as a moderating variable on the influence of work involvement and organizational justice on work behaviour innovative. Aims(s) – The role of job happiness as a moderating variable on the influence of work involvement and organizational justice on the innovative work behaviour of Regional SCAs in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach – The samples obtained were 243 SCA working in the Regional Government sector. Questionnaires were delivered directly by the research team to the respondents. The analytical method used is the structural equation model and PLS to test the hypothesis. Findings – The results of the study show that work involvement, organizational justice, and happiness at work have a direct effect on innovative work behaviour. Happiness at work cannot play a moderating role in the effect of job involvement and organizational justice on SCA innovative work behaviour. Limitations of the study and implication for managerial SCA – The limitations of this study are only focused on looking at the effect of WE, OJ, and HAW on IWB SCA. Especially the role of HAW as a moderating variable is not supported. This research contributes to social exchange theory more specifically in developing the implementation of human resource management that work involvement, organizational justice, and work happiness as multidimensional variables have been empirically proven to increase IWB SCA in local government organizations. This makes a practical contribution that empirically the level of WE, OJ, and worker happiness substantially influence their IWB.

Development and validation of a questionnaire for assessment of happiness with reference to behavioral determinants of health. The Indian happiness rating scale III

Background: Recent surveys indicate that the prevalence of happiness is more common in developed countries compared to developing countries, which is considered due to better availability of affordable medical care, more satisfaction in life and economic development. It is possible that chronic anxiety, aggression and depression may be associated with lack of happiness which may predispose poor social, and physical health, leading to unhappiness. This study aims to develop and validate questionnaire for assessment of happiness with greater accuracy, in the behavioral risk factors, so that the same can be used as a tool in the population studies. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted at Halberg Hospital and Research Institute, Moradabad, India. All subjects; 980 urban (495 men and 485 women), 900 rural (510 men and 390 women) above 25 years of age were randomly selected and recruited from urban and rural populations. Clinical data as well as risk factors were recorded with the help of case record form using the validated questionnaires. Assessment of happiness was made by a new more detailed modified questionnaire involving happiness of mind by including questions related to social, emotional and psychological health behaviours with reference to behavioural risk factors. Results: The prevalence of happiness was 62.2% (n=612) among urban and 63.2% (n=569) among rural subjects. The prevalence of very happy and satisfied (20.2 vs 22.2 %), moderately happy and satisfied (23.7 vs 22.9 %) and the modestly happy and satisfied (18.4 vs 17.9 %) were not significantly different among urban and rural subjects. It seems that the accuracy of the Indian Happiness Rating Scale III is good enough to assess happiness in other populations. The prevalence of behavioral risk factors; alcoholism, alcohol intake in moderation, sedentary behavior, western type diet intake, sleep disorders, emotional stress disorders, breakfast missing, late night dinner, night shift work, were significantly greater among urban subjects compared with rural subjects. However, among subjects with happiness, the frequency of moderate alcohol intake was significantly greater compared to subjects with no happiness among urbans. There were no gender differences in happiness. Conclusions: It is possible that this modified questionnaire with 16 attributes, may accurately assess the status of happiness and successfully used for assessment of happiness rates in urban and rural populations. The questionnaire allowed us to identify approximately two third subjects with happiness, among both urban and rural populations. Similar prevalence of happiness among urban and rural subjects, despite more behavioral risk factors among urbans, indicate that economic development may not be necessary for happiness. Further studies are necessary to find out the role of happiness in relations to health and behavioral risk factors.

Grassroots football club stakeholders' sponsorship: the role of happiness and shared values

PurposeThis research serves to determine causal configurations of corporate social responsibility (CSR) conditions that best influences grassroots football club stakeholders to meet a sponsor's goals through promotional activity.Design/methodology/approachThe research uses a case study of the Essex Alliance League, a local amateur football league in England. Firstly, semi-structured interviews were held with multiple stakeholders to understand the ecosystem of grassroots football. From here, further semi-structured interviews were held with club sponsors to identify the conditions of CSR. This allowed the research to then issue a survey from which results were analysed and discussed using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA).FindingsThe ecosystem of grassroots football is formed by a myriad of stakeholders operating at a national level, all the way to more local governance structures within which the business-club relationship exists. Sponsors identified three main conditions of CSR: shared values, self-congruity, and happiness. However, following fsQCA, two pathways were found: (1) presence of shared values, and (2) presence of happiness with the absence of self-congruity.Practical implicationsFor practitioners, adaptations can be made for clubs to attract and maintain sponsorship as businesses seek to use grassroots sport as a channel for their own CSR objectives. To attract long term sponsorship, club managers are recommended to maintain long-term relationships with business owners especially in relation to personal values, fit, and happiness. As such, the responsibility of the club to ensure its stakeholders engage in promotional activity on behalf of their sponsor will help in maximising the financial value over multiple seasons.Originality/valueWhere fertile ground for academic analysis in grassroots football is present, this research investigates CSR activity at this level of football, where most research is more concerned with professional levels of the game. Furthermore, this research reaches into the sport ecosystem through an understanding of co-created values between organisations in this exchange of shared values to meet common objectives.

Spinoza’s Strong Eudaimonism

In this paper I defend an eudaimonistic reading of Spinoza’s ethical philosophy. Eudaimonism refers to the mainstream ethical tradition of the ancient Greeks, which considers happiness a naturalistic, stable, and exclusively intrinsic good. Within this tradition, we can also draw a distinction between weak eudaimonists and strong eudaimonists. Weak eudaimonists do not ground their ethical conceptions of happiness in complete theories of metaphysics, epistemology, or psychology. Strong eudaimonists, conversely, build their conceptions of happiness around an overall philosophical system that extends far beyond ethics, while nevertheless being directed at the promotion of a happy life. I will show that Spinozistic happiness is not only naturalistic, stable, and exclusively intrinsically good, but that Spinoza is also a strong eudaimonist because his ethical account of happiness is incomprehensible without appeal to metaphysical, epistemological, and psychological doctrines. As well, I will explain how the apparent subjective and relativistic features of Spinoza’s ethics do not undermine the eudaimonistic reading, because both Spinoza and the ancient eudaimonists grant that the beliefs/feelings of the subject play a necessary (but insufficient) role in happiness as the highest good.

Intended cycling frequency and the role of happiness and environmental friendliness after COVID-19

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to an increase in cycling in many countries worldwide, it is not yet known whether this increase becomes a long-lasting change in mobility. The current study explores this increase by analyzing data collected in a U.S. nationwide longitudinal survey. Using a total of 7421 observations, a mixed logit model with heterogeneity in the means of random parameters was estimated. In the resulting sample, nearly 14 percent of the respondents stated that they were planning to cycle more while only 4 percent of the respondents stated that they were planning to cycle less post COVID-19 pandemic. The estimation results provide insights into socio-demographic and psychological factors that play a role in planned cycling behavior post COVID-19. The study also establishes that age, race, employment status, gender, and household size impact intended cycling frequency. The model estimation results further indicate that workers (full time and part time), individuals with a high degree of life satisfaction, and individuals who are environmentally friendly all have higher cycling-frequency probabilities relative to others. The findings can be used to support policies that target sustainable mobility and further our understanding of the transportation, psychology, and well-being relationships.

Role of Happiness in Individual Work Performance: An Empirical Study

A person's level of happiness is a critical factor in determining their general health and productivity at work. Recognizing the importance of pleasure in raising work productivity and job satisfaction is vital in India, where the workplace culture is continuously changing. Those who are content with their lives typically do better at work, are more imaginative, and are more resilient to stress and adversity. Employee engagement, motivation, and commitment are all likely to increase when they feel happy and fulfilled at work. This results in higher output, improved job satisfaction, and lower employee turnover. Although the value of workplace happiness is becoming more widely recognized, many Indian firms still undervalue the value of employee well-being. In a nation where burnout and work-related stress are widespread, putting happiness first can significantly improve both employee productivity and the organization's overall effectiveness. As a result, it is critical for Indian businesses to understand how happiness affects productivity and to adopt proactive measures to foster a joyful and healthy workplace.

Life Satisfaction: The Role of Happiness and Optimism Among Young Adults

Aim: Life satisfaction (LS) is a term used to describe how people communicate their feelings, sentiments (moods), and perspectives on their potential futures (Ritter, 2003). The tendency to expect the best and see the bright side of things is a common definition of optimism (Schneider &amp; Carver, 1985). Happiness is defined as the experiencing of more frequently happy emotional emotions than negative ones, as well as the impression that one is moving toward significant life goals (Tkach &amp; Lyubomirsky, 2006). This study sought to examine young individuals' levels of life satisfaction, optimism, and happiness. Methods: The study was conducted on 120 young adults aged 18 to 24 years, out of which 60 were females and 60 were males, through purposive sampling techniques. Satisfaction With Life Scales (Dinner, Emmons, Larsen &amp; Griffin in 1985), Life Orientation Test (Carver, 2013), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Michael Agryel &amp;Peter Hills 2002) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by using one way ANOVA, mean, standard deviation and Pearson product moment correlation. Result: Result of the study shows that there is no significant difference in the level of life satisfaction, optimism and happiness among young adults across their gender. There is a significant relationship (Positive Correlation) between happiness and life satisfaction among young adults, There is a significant relationship (Positive Correlation) between optimism and life satisfaction among young adults.

Problematic Internet use in Adults: The Role of Happiness, Psychological Resilience, Dispositional Hope, and Self-control and Self-management.

There is increasing literature examining the use of problematic internet in the context of psychological factors. Most of these studies are focused on the young population. On the other hand, the prolongation of human life and the increasing rate of adult individuals in society’s population cannot be ignored. It is seen that the number of research examining the use of problematic internet in the context of psychological factors is quite limited. In this current study, the problematic internet usage of primary and secondary school students’ parents was examined in happiness, psychological resilience, dispositional hope, self-control and self-management. The research was conducted on 1123 parents. Path analysis was performed to discover the relations between the structures. As a result of the path analysis, it was determined that there is a significant negative relationship between problematic internet use and happiness, problematic internet use and psychological resilience, problematic internet use, and dispositional hope. According to these findings, adults’ high happiness levels, psychological resilience, and hope levels will reduce their problematic internet use. It has been determined that there is a significant indirect relationship between self-control and self-management and problematic internet use. Happiness, psychological resilience, and dispositional hope mediating role in this relationship. Increasing parents’ happiness levels, developing psychological resilience, increasing dispositional hope levels, and developing self-control and self-management skills will reduce problematic internet use. In line with the findings, what can be done to reduce the use of problematic internet has been discussed.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10942-022-00482-y.

Exploring the association of body mass index, mindful and emotional eating, and orthorexia.

Orthorexia nervosa (ON) is defined as a fixation on healthy eating behaviours. Research exploring ON and body mass index (BMI) has been inconsistent, with some findings indicating a positive relationship between ON and BMI, while other studies have suggested no relationship. To date, potential associations with emotional and mindful eating have been explored only in a vegan population. The present research adopted an exploratory approach and examined the relationship between orthorexia and BMI, and possible associations with emotional and mindful eating. The potential predictive value of mindful and emotional eating with respect to ON was also explored, while the role of four different types of emotional eating (happiness, sadness, anger, anxiety), utilising an emotional eating scale incorporating positive and negative emotions, was further explored. Two hundred and twenty-three participants completed the online survey that was distributed via social media to a British sample. The findings suggested a negative correlation between ON and BMI. Participants who presented higher levels of orthorexia were more likely to display higher levels of focused eating, a central aspect of mindful eating, as well as lower levels of emotional eating in response to happiness - two elements that further predicted ON in multiple regression models. The results suggest a need to conduct further research to explore the possible role of happiness as a potential protective tool against ON, and further suggest the likely negative role of some components of mindful eating in ON. Future directions are discussed in light of the present findings.

Job satisfaction among physicians and nurses involved in the management of multiple sclerosis: the role of happiness and meaning at work

ObjectiveHealth professionals caring for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) are faced with increasingly complex working conditions that can undermine their job satisfaction and the quality of their healthcare services. The aim of this study was to delve into health professionals’ job satisfaction by assessing the predictive role of happiness and meaning at work. Specifically, it was hypothesized that job meaning would moderate the relationship between job happiness and satisfaction.MethodsThe study hypothesis was tested among 108 healthcare professionals (53 physicians and 55 nurses) working in eight MS centers in Italy. Participants were administered the Eudaimonic and Hedonic Happiness Investigation and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed to test the moderating role of job meaning between job happiness and satisfaction.ResultsA significant interaction effect of job happiness and meaning on job satisfaction was identified for both physicians and nurses. When work was attributed low meaning, participants experiencing high job happiness were more satisfied with their work than those reporting low happiness; by contrast, when work was perceived as highly meaningful, participants’ levels of job happiness did not significantly contribute to job satisfaction.ConclusionsFocusing on the interplay between job happiness and meaning, findings bring forward practical suggestions for the preservation and promotion of job satisfaction among health professionals working with MS patients. Particularly, they suggest the need to strengthen those job-related aspects that may enhance job meaning, thus providing health professionals with significant reasons to persevere in their work in the face of daily challenges.

Individual-level characteristics of environmental sustainability among students in a higher education institution: the role of happiness and academic performance

Purpose Students play an unequivocal role in sustainable universities as they are theorized to embody the mission of a sustainable university through a sustainable lifestyle and spread sustainability practices during their professional careers. Despite this, it is not well known how or why students come to embody a sustainable lifestyle. This study aims to better understand the relationship between happiness, academic achievement and sustainability behaviors among the student population in a Mexican higher education institution. Design/methodology/approach In a questionnaire study, engineering and psychology university students at a large public university in northwestern Mexico answered questions regarding their environmental sustainability behaviors, happiness and academic performance. A stratified random sampling technique was used to obtain the sample population that best represents the entire population. After chi-square tests, it was confirmed that the three variables were independent of one another. Therefore, a series of correspondence analyses were conducted to examine clusters or patterns that could indicate relationships among the three variables. Findings The main finding from this work was that the happiest and most academically astute participants were only slightly environmentally sustainable or not sustainable at all. The lack of environmental sustainability in students from one of the most top-rank sustainable universities in Mexico does not align with previous sustainability reports. External factors to the university, such as cultural values and extreme weather conditions, may have influenced students’ sustainability behaviors. Research limitations/implications As with any other questionnaire study, the provided data is subject to interpretation, judgment and bias. In addition, the environmental and happiness index used in this study are not free of criticizing, and some author had disputed its efficacy. Finally, this study’s findings did not determine any causality or directionality between any of the latent variables. However, causality and directionally between environmental sustainability-happiness and happiness-academic performance have to be found in both directions. Practical implications Despite the unsustainability of students in this study, this study has several contributions. First, it provides an evaluation of a sustainable university from the perspectives and behaviors of students. The views of students as they relate to the complexities and visions of a sustainable university have remained relatively underexamined. Second, these analyses point to specific sustainability-oriented challenges and inadvertent barriers (e.g. extreme weather patterns) toward the embodiment of a sustainable lifestyle. These challenges and barriers suggest that sustainable universities need to address the dynamic changes inherent in sustainable development. Finally, this study indicates that the link between happiness, academic performance and sustainability may be more complicated and driven by cultural and structural barriers. The issue of barriers, as they relate to sustainability behaviors, is highly relevant and presents important opportunities and questions for future research. Originality/value This study provides an evaluation of a sustainable university from the perspectives and behaviors of students. Students’ views as they relate to the complexities and visions of a sustainable university have remained relatively underexamined. Second, these analyses point to specific sustainability-oriented challenges and barriers as they relate to the embodiment of a sustainable lifestyle. These challenges and barriers suggest that sustainable universities need to address the dynamic changes inherent in sustainable development. Finally, this study indicates that the link between happiness, academic performance and sustainability may be more complicated and driven by cultural and structural barriers.

Can Revenue and Human Development Promote Happiness: Study on Provinces in Indonesia

This study seeks to see the relationship between the human development index (HDI) and gross regional domestic product (GRDP) variables on the happiness of economic growth data for provinces in Indonesia. The method used in this research is regression and path analysis. This study proves that happiness is not caused by the income (GRDP) of a region but rather significantly by one of the dimensions of HDI, namely the education dimension. The relationship through the variable between using path analysis through the indirect effect of the GRDP intermediary also significantly affects the education dimension. About 60% of the variable quality of education plays a role in happiness. If the effect is through an intermediary variable, the real influence of the variable quality of education on happiness is 65%. Other variables such as health and economy, directly or indirectly, do not significantly affect the level of happiness.JEL Classification: I3, E5, R10How to Cite:Rizal, S., &amp; Fitrianto, A.

Role of Happiness: Mediating Digital Technology and Job Performance Among Lecturers

PurposeHappiness has been the most important goal for humans throughout history and is a significant issue among university lecturers facing a rapid digital technology change. It is usually described as a well-being state, feeling satisfied and contented, consisting of positive happenings in an individual’s life concerning the social, spiritual, economic, psychological, and physiological spheres. This research examines the relationship between happiness, attitudes toward technology, and lecturers’ job performance in higher education.Design and MethodologyThis research design was a cross-sectional design that asked the respondents from lecturers of Institut Teknologi Bandung, one of the best universities with technology-based education in Indonesia, to complete a group of well-validated questionnaires. The questionnaires mentioned earlier include the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and three other newly constructed questionnaires, made to measure attitude toward digital technology, job satisfaction, and job performance.FindingsThis research confirmed that happiness fully mediated the relationship between attitude toward digital technology and job performance. Additionally, this research also confirmed that happiness partially mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. These results implied that a positive attitude toward digital technology and higher job satisfaction would lead to happier lecturers who increase their job performance.OriginalityThis study suggests that a positive attitude toward technology has a higher impact than job satisfaction as determinant factors of happiness and its association with lecturers’ job performance such as universities, especially Institut Teknologi Bandung as a technologically advanced workplace environment. Additionally, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire framework, frequently used in studies of other countries, is now being used in the context of an Indonesian case study, precisely to measure happiness among lecturers in Indonesian higher education.

Impact of Taqwa (Islamic Piety) on Organizational Commitment in Pakistan: The Role of Happiness

The concept of “employee happiness” has received much research attention within the framework of Western values, but the equivalent concept has not been explored in the context of other cultures. The research aims to explore the concept of employee happiness with regard to the commitment to the organization and the dimensions of the Islamic practice of Taqwa (“God’s consciousness”) comprising Islamic spirituality (IS) and Islamic social responsibility (ISR). Previous researches (Maham et al., 2020; Maham & Bhatti, 2019), and (Zandi, Sulaiman, Naysary, et al., 2013) explored the effect of Islamic piety on happiness and commitment respectively, we merged both the individual and organizational effect into a mediation framework. We argue that Islamic spirituality brings Islamic social responsibility jointly called taqwa. This social responsibility brings happiness at an individual level that would ultimately increase organizational commitment. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data were collected among respondents and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. Results suggested that IS has a significant positive effect on both ISR and happiness. ISR also seems to be affecting happiness positively. However, both IS, and ISR doesn’t seem to affect organizational commitment except for happiness. Hence the results support a positive mediation of ISR, and happiness in IS and organizational commitment relationship. The study is useful for organizations, institutions, and sectors that are under the worst circumstances due to HRM and turnover issues of employees. In the Islamic environment or Muslim countries, the strategic and long-term plans and goals can easily be achieved by adopting the practices and rulings of Islam.

Does Learning, Development and Work-Life Balance Affect Happiness? A Moderated Mediatory Model

Happiness is a major issue faced by today’s workforce. The Big Challenge is to find what job-related factors caused happiness, even bigger challenge is to know how they cause it. We proposed a theoretical framework based on Joshanloo and Jarden's (2016) work explaining hedonism as a major cause of happiness moderated by individualism. We further extended the model, including career-related goals that effect hedonism. Hence we theorized that work-life balance, career development, learning affect hedonism, which subsequently affects happiness. Moreover, more individualistic (vs. collectivist) societies hedonism (tend to value pleasure) is more closely linked with happiness. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 219 respondents from different organizations of Pakistan and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. The results suggested that all three career-related factors negatively and significantly affect hedonism. Subsequently, hedonism negatively affects happiness. Individualism has a positive role in happiness directly, as well as directly, is it negatively complements the inverse effect of Hedonism on Happiness. Finding implies career-related factors decrease hedonism that would, in turn, bring more happiness. Most importantly, seeking pleasure doesn’t bring happiness. This study will benefit organizations working in Pakistan as they can estimate what to value for their employee for their happiness.
