Abstract
Workplace happiness plays a pivotal role in enhancing teachers' performance and the overall quality of education. Despite its importance, research on teachers' workplace well-being in rural provinces of Thailand, such as Lop Buri, remains limited. This study adopts the Workplace Well-being framework to evaluate workplace happiness among teachers and analyze variations based on demographic factors. The research aims to: 1) assess the level of workplace happiness among teachers in Lop Buri Province, and 2) compare workplace happiness across demographic variables. A quantitative research design was employed, with a sample of 357 teachers selected through stratified random sampling. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire derived from the Workplace Well-being model, incorporating dimensions such as autonomy, skill utilization, social support, and work-life balance. The findings revealed that workplace happiness among teachers was at a high level overall, with significant differences observed across demographic categories such as debt status, school size, and commuting distance. Appropriate status, opportunities for personal development, and social support emerged as key factors influencing teachers' happiness. The study underscores the need for educational institutions to create supportive work environments and promote professional recognition and personal development to improve teachers' well-being. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and administrators to develop interventions that enhance workplace happiness, thereby contributing to better educational outcomes in Lop Buri Province.
