Purpose

The purpose of this study is to analyze the properties of Happiness at Workplace (HAW) scale and investigate the validity of the scale in the Indian context using a sample of EdTech employees (knowledge-intensive population). This is consistent with encouraging the happiness literature as well as facilitating positive approaches at the working place in developing economies.

Design/methodology/approach

Responses were collected via Questionnaire from the employees of EdTech Companies, and a total of 500 responses were investigated. The factor structures, reliability and validity of the HAW scale were tested with the help of SPSS and Smart PLS Software Version 4.0.8.7.

Findings

The findings of this study showed that all the criteria of reliability and validity for validation of HAW scale were met when used in Indian culture, and the higher-order construct of HAW scale was retained.

Originality/value

Because of the differences in work cultures and societal structures among nations, the validation of HAW scale in the Indian context is needed, as the majority of the studies in the field of happiness were conducted in Western countries. So this study contributes significantly by validating the HAW scale in India by using a sample of EdTech employees.

印度工作场所幸福感的验证——针对教育科技员工的实证研究

目的

本研究的目的是分析工作场所幸福感 (HAW) 量表的属性，并使用教育科技员工（知识密集型人群）样本调查该量表在印度背景下的有效性。这与鼓励幸福文学以及促进发展中经济体工作场所的积极方法是一致的。

设计/方法论/途径

通过问卷调查从教育科技公司的员工那里收集了回复，总共调查了 500 份回复。借助SPSS和Smart PLS软件4.0.8.7版本对HAW量表的因子结构、信度和效度进行了检验。

发现

本研究的结果表明，HAW 量表在印度文化中使用时，满足了验证 HAW 量表的所有信度和效度标准，并且保留了 HAW 量表的高阶结构。

原创性/价值

由于各国工作文化和社会结构的差异，需要在印度背景下验证HAW量表，因为大多数幸福领域的研究都是在西方国家进行的。因此，这项研究通过使用教育科技员工样本来验证印度的 HAW 规模，做出了重大贡献。
