Examining Happiness at Work in the Indian Army: A Survey Based Analysis

Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing happiness at work among Indian Army officers using a quantitative research approach. A random sample of 120 officers from various regiments was surveyed, with data collected through questionnaires covering demographics such as age, qualifications, branch, rank, salary, and family status. The study assessed variables including happiness at work, job crafting, perceived organizational support, self-esteem, employeeship, and team effectiveness. Results indicate that perceived organizational support and job crafting significantly impact workplace happiness. The study also examines how these factors affect team performance and employee engagement. Findings show that job crafting and perceived organizational support are vital for workplace happiness, enhancing team effectiveness and employeeship. This research offers valuable insights into improving the well-being and performance of Indian Army officers, providing practical implications for creating supportive and engaging work environments within the military.
