The effect of employees' self confidence and creativity levels on their happiness: A field research

This study was conducted to determine the effect of employees' self-confidence and creativity levels on their happiness and to create a model of the relationship between those variables. The sample of implementation is the 212 white-collar employees in the private and public sector in the defense industry. In this context, two sub-dimensions of the concept of self-confidence (internal, external self-confidence), five sub-dimensions of the concept of creativity (self/daily, scholarly, performance, mechanical/science, artistic creativity) and the concept of happiness are handled like a connection with each other. According to the results obtained, it has been concluded that the sub-dimensions of self-confidence which are internal and external self-confidence affect happiness indirectly through self/daily creativity. In addition to this, external self-confidence affects happiness directly.
