| Abstract | ||
| Giving educational institutions more freedom to their workforce will contributes to making the workplace happier and more productive. As happier individuals have more independence and the ability to express about their opinions and ideas better than those who are less happy. The research aims to identify the extent of the educational institution's interest in happiness at work represented by its dimensions, as well as identifying the contributions of academic freedom with its dimensions in achieving happiness at work. The importance of the current research lies in a number of contemporary concepts related to academic freedom and happiness at work, and that their understanding will contribute to improving work conditions, an adaptive work environment and accepting everything new in their institutions. The research was based on the main hypothesis that "There is no statistically significant effect of the dimensions of academic freedom (totally) with happiness at work (totally) at a level of significance of (0.05 ≤ α). The research relied on questionnaire as a main tool in collecting data from the researched institution, and (172) questionnaires were distributed to a sample of teachers at the college. The results of the structural equation modeling revealed a significant effect of the dimensions of academic freedom (totally) on happiness at work (totally), and this indicates that the more academic institutions adopt their concepts of academic freedom the teachers feel more happily in their workplace. Therefore, the research recommends increasing care to make a workplace more happier, as well as creating a work environment that contributes to this. | ||
