 Bu çalışmada, çalışanlar için iş yerinde mutluluğun ne anlama geldiği, çalışanların iş yerinde mutlu olmalarını sağlayan faktörlerin neler olduğu, iş yerindeki mutluluklarının bireysel ve örgütsel sonuçları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla, bir devlet üniversitesinde çalışan akademisyenlerden oluşan örneklem üzerinde nitel bir araştırma yapılmış, bireysel görüşmeler sonucu elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile tablolaştırılmış ve yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre; katılımcı akademisyenler için mutluluğun huzur, beklentilerin karşılanma düzeyi ve iyi hissetmek anlamına geldiği görülmüştür. Ayrıca, iş yerinde iyi ilişkiler, adil muamele, değertakdir görme, başarı ve iletişim gibi faktörlerin iş yeri mutluluğunun öncülleri; gelişme arzusu, başarı, prososyal davranış, genel hayat mutluluğu gibi faktörlerin ise iş yeri mutluluğunun sonuçları olarak ifade edildiği görülmüştür.
