| description | The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of Fordyce happiness training on health workers’ job engagements. The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and control group. The samples were 28 health workers who were randomly selected from kiar’s health workers. Then they were randomly assigned into two groups: experimental (n = 14) and control (n = 14). The data was collected by Utrecht job engagement Questionnaire. The experimental group participated in eight sessions of Fordyce happiness group training and control group did not receive any intervention. After the intervention, the subjects were assessed again by the Utrecht job engagement Questionnaire. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that the experimental group was significantly different from the control group in job engagement dimensions. Vigor subscale, according to the average of post-test variables, was mostly increased among other subscales and Fordyce happiness training enhanced the effect size of job engagement subscales to 0.34. The findings confirmed the effectiveness of Fordyce happiness training on the enhancement of job engagement. Since interventions based on happiness can bring about changes in feelings, thoughts and behaviors; and at the same time job engagement have some dimensions like cognitive, behavioral and emotional, the results indicate that job engagement can be affected by happiness as well. |
