Results revealed that (1) the overall happiness of the employee was reported to be at a moderate level, (2) Neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience and agreeableness had low relationship with working happiness (r = .151 to r = .363), while the conscientiousness had no relationship with working happiness.
