Abstract: Happiness among employees can give significant impact on performance of any organization. Thus, it is important to know factors that lead to happiness at workplace. This study aims to identify domains that contribute to happiness at workplace among staff at University A. A total of 535 employees were selected using random sampling technique to fill out a questionnaire. Results analyzed using SPSS show that social domain is the main contributor to happiness among staff at University A with a mean value of 3.108. This is followed by individual domain (mean = 2.996) and organization domain (mean = 2.721). Therefore this study shows that social domain which refers to relationship among individual, family and society has a high impact on happiness among employees at workplace. Meanwhile job environment in individual domain and work environment in organization domain have a moderate impact on happiness among employees at workplace. Thus, this research suggests that organizations should consider assisting employees in having work life balance by restricting working hours and providing time for their employees to do volunteer work in the society.
