Abstract
Although employees of higher education
institutions are equally, if not
more, exposed to burnout and stress
like their corporate counterparts,
research studies are only a few on
their well-being and happiness. This
study examines if employees perceive
their past, present, and future
happiness to be inter-related and
whether one predicts the other. The
study also attempts to establish if
happiness differs between genders,
cadres, and education levels. Responses
of 224 employees of a state
private university were collected on
an anchoring scale. Data were analyzed
by partial correlation and linear
regression analyses. Z-test and
t-test were carried out to check if
differences in mean happiness levels
were significant. The results
showed that there is a curvilinear
relationship between happiness and
time in terms of past, present, and
future.
