ABSTRACT

This research focused on studying happiness hormones and their role in mood, emotions, and mental health, with implications for employee wellness. Employing a descriptive study method, information was gathered from reputable scientific sources such as books, articles, dissertations, and websites. Key findings highlighted serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins as pivotal hormones influencing happiness, mood, and overall mental health in organizational employees. Workplace stress hampered mental health and job performance; positive employees outshone discontented ones. This emphasized the need for employee well-being in organizations. Researchers, scholars, and practitioners extensively recognized the past organizational focus on workplace happiness for its impact on business outcomes. This involved acknowledging the significant contributions of contented employees, enhancing performance. Mental health, realizing abilities, coping, and community participation were integral for well-being. Happiness, encompassing positive feelings, life satisfaction, social interaction, and life goals, was synonymous with mental well-being. Conclusively, comprehending the intricate links among happiness, hormones, and workplace realities yielded insights for past organizational strategies fostering employee well-being and success. Based on extensive research, it was conclusively established that the presence of positive hormones significantly contributed to the enhancement of an employee’s mood, consequently leading to elevated mental health well-being.
