Happiness of High School Teachers: Research in Da Nang City and QuangNam Province, Central Region of VietNam

Feeling happy in the teaching process plays a crucial role in supporting students. When teachers are happy, it not only directly impacts their performance but also affects the psychological development of students. Using the method of testing the happiness scale developed by (Phan Thi Mai Huong., 2019), which considers several factors connected to negative emotions, positive emotions, and job satisfaction and value. We surveyed over 360 high school teachers in Da Nang City and QuangNam province. The results showed that high school teachers over the age of 50 have a higher sense of happiness compared to those under 30. Female teachers have a higher level of satisfaction and sense of value in their work than male teachers. Based on these findings, we propose several measures to improve the sense of happiness among high school teachers. Received: 10 August 2024 / Accepted: 27 October 2024 / Published: 05 November 2024
