Combining management and happiness in cross-disciplinary studies opens numerous beneficial avenues for both fields.

• Impact of Leadership Styles on Employee Happiness: Investigate how different leadership styles (e.g., transformational, servant, authentic) influence employee happiness, job satisfaction, and overall well-being.
• Organisational Culture and Happiness: Explore how organisational culture, including factors such as values, norms, and practices, contributes to employee happiness and organisational success.
• Employee Engagement and Happiness: Examine the relationship between employee engagement and happiness, and identify strategies for fostering a positive work environment that promotes both engagement and well-being
• Work-Life Balance and Happiness: Investigate the effects of work-life balance policies and practices on employee happiness, productivity, and retention, and explore ways to optimise work-life balance for organisational success.
• Impact of Job Design on Happiness: Explore how job design factors such as autonomy, task variety, and meaningfulness influence employee happiness and job satisfaction, and identify best practices for designing jobs that promote well-being.
• Happiness and Performance Management: Investigate the role of performance management systems in promoting employee happiness and engagement, and explore alternative approaches to performance evaluation and feedback that prioritise employee well-being.
• Leadership Development and Happiness: Examine the effectiveness of leadership development programs in enhancing leaders' emotional intelligence, empathy, and other qualities associated with promoting employee happiness and organisational success.
• Employee Happiness and Customer Satisfaction: Explore the relationship between employee happiness and customer satisfaction, and identify strategies for creating a positive feedback loop between employee well-being and customer experience.
• Happiness and Organisational Performance: Investigate the impact of employee happiness on organisational performance metrics such as productivity, profitability, and innovation, and explore ways to measure and optimise happiness as a key performance indicator.
• Crisis Management and Happiness: Explore how organisations can maintain employee happiness and well-being during times of crisis or change, such as mergers, layoffs, or economic downturns, and identify resilience-building strategies to support employee morale and resilience.

These research topics represent just a sampling of the potential areas where management and happiness intersect. By conducting cross-fertilising and multidimensional studies in these areas, researchers can contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical applications for promoting happiness and well-being in the workplace.
