Purpose: The aim of the publication is to present the opinions of contemporary employees on the relationship between their sense of happiness at work and their organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach: The article predominantly focuses on the discussion of the determinants of the sense of happiness. The article is interdisciplinary in nature, as it intertwines findings from the fields of psychology, management, philosophy and social sciences. The research was based on the qualitative methodology. Polling the views on the relationship between the indicated constructs was conducted using the CAWI survey conducted in November 2023 on a sample of 220 Polish employees. Findings: Research results prove that modern employees perceive the existence of a correlation between their sense of happiness in the workplace and organizational commitment. Research limitations/implications: The sociodemographic diversity of the participants in the study (e.g. age, gender, etc.) may, to some extent, distort the obtained results. In the future, the research sample should be expanded to confirm the obtained results and the in-depth interview technique should be additionally used. It is also suggested to develop a new measurement tool that will allow for the formulation of more precise conclusions using advanced statistical methods. Practical implications: Being happy at work is important to modern employees, unlike the attractiveness of remuneration, the role of which in the process of creating a sense of happiness at work gives way to good relations with the managerial staff. Happy employees are dominated by the emotional component of organizational commitment. Originality/value: The issues discussed in this article fill the research gap regarding the identification of the interdependence existing between the sense of happiness at work and organizational commitment, thus expanding the area of knowledge about organizational behaviour in the presented area.
